Lead Contributor

Opened the debate
Members across the House are aware of the menace caused by off-road bikes being driven in a dangerous and antisocial way. Luke Akehurst is introducing a Bill to give police powers to enter private dwellings for seizing these vehicles, which includes motorbikes and quad bikes. The Road Traffic Act 1988 allows seizure of uninsured vehicles but not from private dwellings; the proposed amendment would remove this restriction and enhance antisocial behaviour legislation.
