Officers for Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing Team are continuing to visit schoolchildren to talk to them about the laws and dangers associated with riding off-road bikes.
We have received reports of children as young as eight years old riding these bikes, and while we continue to take enforcement action, we are also keen to keep educating young people on the dangers of riding these bikes illegally and in antisocial manner.
As well as the obvious risk to the rider, off-road bikes, which includes quad bikes, trail bikes and motorbikes, puts those around you, including innocent members of the public, at risk too.
It is illegal to use off-road bikes, including quad bikes, trail bikes and motorbikes, and privately-owned e-scooters in public parks or on publicly-owned land without permission from the landowner or local authority.
It is also illegal to use them on public roads, pavements, cycle lanes and pedestrian-only areas.
Thank you to Brooke Primary School in Thorne for allowing us to talk to pupils. We hope our presentation proved to be insightful and informative.  | |
