Motorcycles: Crime
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to prevent the illegal use of off-road bikes.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission.
On 25 February 2025, the Crime and Policing Bill was introduced in Parliament. The Bill includes proposals to give the police greater powers to clamp down on off-road bikes and other vehicles involved in anti-social behaviour, with officers no longer required to issue a warning before seizing vehicles.
This will allow the police to quickly remove anti-social vehicles and send a clear message to antisocial drivers that their behaviour will not be tolerated.
