Tackling Off-Road Bikes |

Anti-Social Behaviour and Illegal use of off-road bikes, quad bikes and scooters Driving or riding on quad bikes, three-wheeled bikes, trail bikes and some other two-wheeled vehicles in public parks or on publicly owned land without permission is illegal. We regularly get calls from the public about antisocial and dangerous use of off-road vehicles. Follow the law Before you drive or ride a motorbike, you must have the correct driving licence, be of minimum driving age, hold valid insurance, have a valid MOT (if needed) and tax. To be used on the road, quad bikes must be approved, registered, taxed and have an MOT (if needed). You also need to register your quad bike with the DVLA and have number plates attached to the front and back. Your vehicle can be seized and crushed if you do not follow the law. How you can help We know the use of off-road bikes is a concern in our communities and we regularly hold operations to clamp down on those breaking the rules of the road and placing themselves and others in danger, as well as causing a nuisance for residents. Our work to tackle off-road bikes won’t stop, and we are planning operations taking place over the coming months. Your information is vital in helping us crack down on this kind of crime. We would ask you to please get in touch and make a report if you spot an illegal bike or know who’s riding them or where these bikes are being stored. You can report online via our Live Chat or call 101. If you believe life is in danger, please call 999. You can report crime 100% anonymously on the Crimestoppers helpline 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website at
