Motorcycles: Anti-social Behaviour

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle anti-social behaviour caused by the illegal use of off-road bikes.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Government will give police the powers they need to swiftly seize dangerous and antisocial off-road vehicles and take them off the streets for good.

Enforcement of road traffic law, including in relation to the anti-social behaviour caused by the use of illegal off-road bikes, is an operational matter for Chief Officers who will decide how to deploy available resources, taking into account any specific local problems and demands.
