Advice for parents and riders of motorcycles being used off road
All motorcycles including:
Quad Bikes/Mini Motors/Go Peds/Monkey Bikes/Scooters
Are NOT allowed to be used on:
Pavements/Disused Railway Lines/Rights of Way/Bridleways/Canal Towpaths/Parks/Wasteland/Public Land
They can be used on the road if they are:
Taxed/Insured/Registered with the DVLA and have an up to date MOT certificate
The confiscation of any motor-cycle ridden illegally leads to it being crushed.
Advice for Parents:
-
If you buy a Motorbike or Quad Bike for your child, YOU are responsible for that young person and their actions.
-
YOU as a parent may be prosecuted for permitting your child to fide illegally-this will affect your own car or bike insurance.
-
The only place off road vehicles can be ridden lawfully is on private land with the land owners permission or at off road centres (where you will probably need off road insurance).
-
We recommend that full protective clothing and a helmet is worn at all times.
