More About Japan's Shiro-bai

In Japan, since 1918 (when shiro-bai (white motorcyles) were first introduced to the metropolitan police department), police officers have used shiro-bai to enforce traffic regulations.
In addition to traffic regulation enforcement and patrols, shiro-bai is used as a leading vehicle in marathons and long-distance relay races.

The shiro-bai at the imperial guard headquarters however, is used exclusively to escort and protect important figures.
The shiro-bai has various equipment such as a “speed-measuring indicator” that measures the speed of vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit.
Some other features of the shiro-bai is a siren and a speaker used for voicing warnings.

Training and Improving Shiro-bai Techniques

Shiro-bai police officers belong to the Traffic Police Force and gain the right to be trained to ride a shiro-bai only after they have passed the required examinations.
The Traffic Police Force devote tremendous effort to their shiro-bai training in order to prevent accidents.

The large motorcycle used as a shiro-bai is very big.
In order to drive freely on public roads, police officers repeatedly undergo training such as figure eight runs and wheelie tests in addition to daily practice routines such as acceleration and corner turning.
