On Saturday, the government announced it had deployed the bikes state-wide after the trial.

The patrol method allows the unmarked motorcycle to lane filter and will be primarily used to detect offences like speeding, mobile phone usage, inattention, traffic light offences and blocking intersections.

Tasmania Police Inspector Darren Hopkins said the bikes also provide an opportunity for police to respond to emergencies, such as traffic accidents, when other vehicles would not normally be able to get through.

"So far the majority of the infringements have been mobile phones," he said.

"The most important thing with that is inattention. If you're looking down at your phone you're not going to see this bike come up beside you."

Inspector Hopkins said as soon as people see a high visibility police vehicle they automatically slow down and behave themselves.

"The behaviour is different when they think we're not being watched. This is how we watch you."

Police on the bike are fitted with body-worn cameras on their helmet that records all detected traffic offences.

"It's been a very positive story in relation to the camera. So far we haven't had many not guilty pleas to test the camera in court," Inspector Hopkins said.

"Most people are seeing the vision and pleading guilty."

During the three-month Hobart trial, 1000 offences were detected and one in four of those were mobile phone use. Police, Fire and Emergency Management Minister Mark Shelton said the reality is there are marked and unmarked police cars, and now there are the same with motorbikes.

"So to keep everybody safe on the road, we must keep people concentrating on the road," he said.

"Anywhere, at any time, in any vehicle, the police will be there. If you do the wrong thing then police have the opportunity now to enforce the road rules."

The program has also received strong public support with many motorists supportive of mobile phone enforcement and other offences that contribute to traffic congestion.

All Tasmanians are urged to follow the road rules, drive to the conditions, put phones away and wear a seatbelt.
