Anti-social Behaviour: Motorcycles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle the antisocial use of motorbikes.
Answered by Sarah Jones
There are clear powers in place for the police to stop and seize vehicles, including motorbikes, used anti-socially. We further strengthened police enforcement powers through the Crime and Policing Act 2026, by removing the requirement for police to issue a warning before seizing motorbikes and other vehicles used antisocially. We have also consulted on measures to allow police to dispose of seized motorbikes and other seized vehicles, more quickly, to deter and prevent re-offending. The government response to the consultation will be issued shortly.
