Following a series of complaints in the local area, police in Calne, Wiltshire have issued a statement saying they will seize and crush any mini motorbikes found being used on public roads.
Calls from residents reporting that the mini motos are being used more frequently on roads and pavements have left the police with no choice but to clamp down on their illegal use, finding themselves with a collection of small-engined bikes that will be either auctioned off or crushed.
Calne police are reminding bikers that the same laws apply to mini motos as they do to their larger counterparts – namely that users must be over 16, wearing a helmet, displaying ‘L’ plates and have the relevant driving licence and motorbike insurance.
