Anti-social driving

We often receive multiple reports of people driving their vehicles anti-socially or riding motorbikes on pavements and green spaces, without the proper safety equipment and correct legal documentation. Some of these reports include multiple riders on the bikes.

Please contact us on 101 or 999 in the event of an emergency if you witness this happening in your area.

  When reports are received of individuals riding without appropriate safety equipment or with multiple riders, we collaborate with partner agencies and conduct targeted patrols during peak times to identify those involved. We then provide guidance on safe and responsible use of their chosen mode of transport.

  In response to reports of anti-social driving behaviours, such as excessive engine revving, we carry out patrols to locate and identify the individuals responsible, enabling us to take appropriate action and interventions.

  Work to support this priority is continuing.

  Any reports of users riding without the proper safety equipment or multiple riders, we work with our partner agencies along with patrols during the times they happen to locate the individuals and advise on the proper use of their choice of locomotion and safety precautions.

  On the issues with anti-social driving such as loudly revving engines, any reports we receive we carry out patrols to locate and and identify the users to carry out necessary interventions.
