Parents Please Read
Thinking about buying a mini-motorbike or a go-ped for the
kids? You are urged to have a word with the police before
parting with your money - or the present could end up costing
you more than you expect.
There are strict limitations on who can ride these machines,
and on where they can be ridden. Some of the consequences
people may face include:
- Fixed Penalties
- Seizure of bikes by police
- The chance of being sued for injuries and/or criminal damage
Also, parents are responsible for fines and costs if a vehicle
is seized from their child. The worst scenario is that a child
or someone they collide with could be killed or seriously
injured.
Mini Motos and similar vehicles can only be ridden legally
on private land, with the owner's consent. Anyone breaking
the law faces prosecution for having no road tax and insurance
and, depending on their conduct, careless or dangerous driving.
If the rider is too young to drive, any penalty points handed
out by the court will be kept on file and activated as soon
as they are old enough to apply for a licence. Youngsters
who ride miniature vehicles on roads, pavements and car parks,
putting pedestrians at risk, are breaking the law and are
liable to have their treasured possession seized by police.
Numerous youths have been issued with warnings and police
can seize these motorbikes under section 59 of the Police
Reform Act. Owners would then need to pay a fine to recover
their vehicle and may be subject to motoring offences. Anyone
using one of these motorbikes on a public road must have a
driving license, insurance, tax, MOT and index plates and
also wear a helmet.
If you have a problem in your area or are a parent and are
unsure of the law in regards to the use of mini-motorbikes,
please contact your local police station.
