Merthyr Tydfil Community Safety Partnership is taking action against illegal use of off-road bikes. If you are found riding illegally, you could have your bike seized and crushed, be summonsed to court , have to pay a fine or even lose your house.
ILLEGAL - riding your bike on roads, pavements or public land (unless the bike is registered with the DVLA and has a current MOT and Tax), including footpaths, forestry land and open spaces
ILLEGAL - causing harassment, alarm or distress to others through the use of your off-road motorcycle
You could lose your driving licence. Illegal use of an off-road motorcycle could mean a ban from driving, even if you don't have a licence yet.
Before you buy an off-road motorcycle, think:
- where will you ride it?
- How will you get the bike to the location where you can legally ride it?
- Where will you store the bike?
Don't put up with it - REPORT IT
If you are suffering from the nuisance of off-road motorcylces please report it - call 101.
Helpful information to report:
- what colour is the off-road motorcycle that you have seen being ridder?
- Any distinguishing features of the bike or the rider
- where the bike is being ridden
- where the bike is being stored.
