PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Motor Vehicles: Anti-social Behaviour (17 July 2024)

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets.

The police are able to pursue off road bikers but any decision on whether to undertake a pursuit is an operational one, and should take account of the risk factors and proportionality in each situation. The Home Office works closely with the NPCC to understand how the safety of police pursuits can be improved.

The Government will give police the powers they need to take illegal, dangerous and antisocial bikes off the streets for good, so that they will be able to quickly destroy the bikes that they seize from offenders. We will set out more information in due course.
