Kids who ride quad bikes on public land
|
This gripe is about kids on quad bikes. After years of saving and thousands of pounds of borrowing I have bought my first house. I work hard, pay my taxes and abide by the laws of the land. This is why I get so annoyed when there are so many criminals getting away with absolutely anything. Near where I live, there is a council estate, now don’t get me wrong because I am not having a go at all people who live in council houses. Unfortunately however, there are a select few that feel the need to ride their stupid and probably stolen, quad bikes on public land. I wouldn’t mind if it was land that was for set aside for such pursuits, but it is not in this case. They ride these quad bikes on footpaths, over private drives, people’s lawns and pretty much wherever they like. The police have been called on so many occasions by a number of people, but nothing is ever actually done to stop this crazy behaviour! These kids aren't insured they don't care if they damage other people’s property! The way things are going I suspect it won’t be long until someone is seriously hurt or even worse, killed by one of these things. |

England is growing to be a country with a bit of a thug culture because we are too soft on criminals. They don’t care that they are breaking the law. They don’t fear jail, because it’s nice and cosy for them when they get in, and then of course when they get out it’s nice and cosy with their benefits that we pay for. I think we should have more of a say in what the tax is spent on, I certainly wouldn’t want it spent on criminals. |

I personally think we should bring back National service to get these kids off the street and get them doing something useful. |

Did I mention playing fields?????
And I don't live in a council house I actually own a very successful freelance company, so not every1 is scum ( go get a life )
What is it you did or do for fun,
And if your saying a little lt50 is loud, you must have super sonic hearing cos there not loud at all.
I personally take my quads on the family farm or on the spare rugby field ( which I have permission) as an lt50 would struggle to rip a field up!!!!
Idiot
Quad bikes are a noisy menace and should be banned.
We had plenty of them roaming around on a council estate we used to live on, believe me if there was a bounty on quad bikers I would be the first to suscribe.
The noise they make is unbelievable, plus all the damage they do to grass, and playing fields etc.
I think quadbikes were invented for the thiko anti-social prats among us, think rioters.
Let them take it up on the field,
There is nothing wrong with kids driving quads legally with protective clothes
If they like it, I have seen a comment further down which says, they should ride a pedal bike so they don't break there necks you could hurt your self more on a pedal bike on a path,
If my son said to me dad I don't like driveing my quad then that would it I wouldent make him,
Quads can be very safe my sons quad has a remote so I can slow it right down and even brake it, it also has a throttle adjuster so he can just drive round at 5mph
Let's get the councils to make us have some were to ride to stop young ones on the pats and roads

Why do you think the riders need their confidence boosted? They sound pretty confident already.

Thing is people are guna keep on doing this type of sport nomatter what the law says!!! So instead of telling people what they cant do, they should compromise, set a few simple rules and requirements i.e riders MUST wear Full safety gear and all riders under 16 must have a Sober Adult to supervise them at all times Plus some sort of safety check certificate (MOT)????
Designate wasteland half mile from Housing estates with a dirt tack leading to it or they'l just end up riding the pavements again!!!
Once these kids realise the only way to get what they want is to act responsably then they will!!! also youll find less bikes etc stolen, nowt worse than buying your own and having it crushed when you could nik 1 n not give a s@*t!!!!
To top that I feel more intimidated by a horse riders than dweebs pedal n plopping on the land we use and the roads I drive on! FREEDOM TO HAVE JUST A LITTLE FUN PLEASE!
P.S I did all this when I was a kid and all we had was Mobilettes and if you was lucky a Tomos! the thrill was most enjoying and want my kids to have the same thrill only this time on bikes designed for the task! Hell when ya get old it gives ya sumat to look back at and laugh about!!! Better than sat in front of the google box playing them daft video games or loosing reality on Facebook!!! Blah Blah Blah.......

I have recently seen a show given by kids from London, aged 5 -18, on motor bikes and their skills were amazing and no doubt they make a few bob out of doing shows. These kids need something to do and somewhere to do it and clubs exist all over the country that they can join. I believe that whatever your age, as long as you can show competence (pass a test) and are properly insured then there should be no problem with your hobby / sport if it's done legally.
Why would you risk your child's life just for a status symbol? He is 4 for heavens sake! He doesn't need a powered vehicle at his age. What is wrong with playing football or riding a bike?
"you should give us a place to ride "
Why?
Sadly I am not fluent in gibberish so perhaps you could rewrite this in English?
Thank you
