Really? we had the usual 3 illegal off road bikes, two illegal mopeds and one illegal quad bike doing as they please where i live on the bank holiday and all day today

This is good news for areas where access is only on foot or by drone; Woodgate being one. The communities affected most must now help by submitting intelligence on where these quads and other off road vehicles are being stored

@PhilDolbyWMP Tried to report nuisance bikes in Sutton Park yesterday, 101 & web chat absolutely useless, no wonder people can’t be bothered reporting incidents to the police @AndrewmitchMP @SimonFosterPCC

Do electric bikes need tighter regulations? A BBC Panorama investigation has found that some more powerful and faster e-bikes, while openly sold as commuter bikes, are illegal to ride on the road.

We're currently trialling new equipment in several parts of the country that we hope will assist us in ensuring the safety of e-scooters and e-bikes. We need all e-scooters and e-bikes that are used on public roads to be compliant with road traffic laws. #SaferRoads

People are sick and tired of open drug use on subways and public transit that makes our communities unsafe. That’s why we’re cracking down on illegal drug use and investing more than half a billion dollars in treatment hubs that will help people get lasting recovery from addiction, so we can protect Ontario communities.

Y'all, we need to talk about e-bikes, dirt bikes and off-road vehicles. A group of our PAR officers were working proactive patrol a few weeks back when they were alerted to a group of people on off-road dirt bikes, e-bikes and four wheelers traveling on East Colfax. Our officers found the riders and observed them doing wheelies, weaving in and out of traffic and quite literally ignoring any and all traffic laws. The group continued down Colfax, but officers lost sight of them due to their erratic driving. Our Real Time Information Center used city cameras to help track the riders. They were seen continuing to drive recklessly. The group eventually pulled into a gas station; unaware we were hot on their trail. When officers pulled in with their lights activated, the group ran. Five got away. One did not. 30-year-old Noel Loya Payan was arrested at the gas station without further incident. He is facing charges including careless driving, obstruction, prohibited use of an off-highway vehicle on a public roadway, weaving and failure to obey traffic signals. He also had a warrant out of Northglenn. This time it was adults treating our streets like their personal playground. But more often than not, it is juveniles. Teenagers riding vehicles they should not be operating and doing so recklessly on busy roads. It’s not just a nuisance to other drivers, it’s also illegal. Aurora city code already prohibits off highway vehicles like dirt bikes from being used on any public roads, trails, sidewalks or parks within city limits. Parents or guardians who knowingly allow minors to ride them in the city can face a minimum $250 fine. Whether you're 15 or 30, our streets are not a racetrack. Ride responsibly.

The guy who crossed the TT course on Tuesday and narrowly avoided being hit by passing bikes? Charged with entering onto a closed road, provoking behaviour, and being drunk in public, pled guilty, sentenced to SIX MONTHS in jail! 👏

Parents, electric dirt bikes are NOT e-bikes. Walton County Sheriff's Office, Florida is seeing an increase in electric dirt bikes, also called “e-motos”, being ridden in neighborhoods and on public roads. Monday, six of these electric dirt bikes were impounded and citations were issued to juveniles 11-14 years old. Many Do NOT have pedals, have high-powered motors, and are designed only for off-road use. Under Florida law, these vehicles are NOT street legal. It’s illegal to ride electric dirt bikes or "e-motos" on public roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks in Walton County. Driving an unregistered, electric dirt bike on a public road can lead to citations, fines, impoundment, and a mandatory court date. Parents are responsible for making sure e-motos are used legally and safely. Even if it was a gift for Christmas and thought to be an e-bike, many of these are electric dirt bikes and the rules of the road are different. Allowing a child to ride an e-moto on streets or sidewalks puts them and everyone around them at serious risk. E-Bike vs. Electric Dirt Bike or E-Moto ✅ E-Bike: • Has pedals with electric assist • Designed for roads, bike paths, and shared spaces • Typically, lower speeds and requires less protective gear • Less than 750 watts • Can travel 28 mph or less depending on class of bike • Classified as a bicycle 🚫 Electric Dirt Bike / E-Moto: • All throttle • Higher power and higher speeds • Built for off-road terrain only • Requires full protective gear • 750 watts or more • Can travel up to 70 mph • Classified as a motor vehicle ➡️ NOT legal on streets or sidewalks Our goal is education and safety. Not enforcement after something goes horribly wrong and ends in a tragedy. When these e-motos are operated illegally on public roads and sidewalks, enforcement action will be taken. We're here if you need us.

For too long, criminal gangs have exploited our high streets to launder dirty money and undercut honest local businesses. We’re cracking down! Shutting these fronts down, seizing illegal cash, driving organised crime off our high streets and putting those responsible behind bars. Our high streets should belong to hardworking businesses and local communities - not organised criminals.

#Watch | A group of men on bikes blocked a policeman's car, dragged him out, and thrashed him in the middle of the road in full public view. They pulled him to the other side of the road while raining blows on him. The man was then seen sitting on the road as one attacker kicked him in the face. The group then vandalised his car before fleeing on their bikes. The shocking episode unfolded in Nagpur and was caught on CCTV. Read more:
