Off road biking and how to report it 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. Why can't I ride in public areas? Dangerous and reckless driving of a vehicle in a public space can cause criminal damage to parks and pathways. There is a risk of injuring and intimidating pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users in the area, especially if you do not have full control of your vehicle. Many off road vehicles have been used to rob (or 'snatch) mobile phones and valuables from pedestrians. Driving recklessly in public spaces will attract police attention. 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.
