Kids on quad bikes a menace

Ok people, whatever we think we can or can't do, or would like to do and aren't allowed to, we live in a democracy, with laws passed by people that the majority of this country have elected to do that job. If we don't like the laws, we have the option of voting for somebody else or speaking to our MP about it. Until a law is changed (and they often are), then we have to accept it or risk whatever punishment is given out for breaking it.
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.

Haha buying a 4 year old a quad bike, thats just really stupid you really sound like a crap parent.

My god a 4 year old driving a quad, what are you people on, I would urge you read the papers people. A 10 year old driving a quad around the farm, quad went out of control and smashed into a wall, unfortunately so did the childs head. She is dead my friends. A quad bike accident nearly ki11ed ozzy osbourne. Do you really want your child to be a statistic. Dead is forever. Thank god the police force in your area have some bloody backbone. Whats next on this poor little blighters agenda Lion taming perhaps. Get a grip!!!!!!!.

Quad bikes are not safe for children to drive especially one as young as 4; they can respond very suddenly and safety gear will not prevent him from breaking his neck if it overturns.

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?

What an arrogant person who wrote that complaint! Im really angry as we bought our 4 year old son a quad for xmas which took a lot of hard work to save for. Its a brand new suzuki 50cc, u can hardly hear it start up! Yet some annoying old farts complained about him riding it(dressed head to toe in safety gear)around a field behind our grandads house. Just this week 2 uniformed police officers came over and threatened to impound his quad(my 4 yr old was petrified!) And we have since had a letter from police! This is a 4 year old child!! V frustrating when there are kids setting fires and smoking weed down there every friday night but the police dont bother about that! And may I just add myself and partner are both hard working homeowners and not thugs/ criminals/ thieves!!

Sadly I am not fluent in gibberish so perhaps you could rewrite this in English?
Thank you

I think thats rediculous moaning about such stuff this country suffers a cancer which you are a part of ... our tallented kids are no longer allowed to express themselves if the play football its watch my car/windows if its quads your too noisy if they breath its your alive ... get a life

ok listen I have a quad bike I am not a thug im 13 I live near the shore and I walk it down there I dont go up and down the street on it but what pisses me of is that I have been told I cannot go there by the police so I go to a waste land place with no house around but somehow someone calls the police on me and says I cannot go here so I dont go there and it goes on and on and on but listen kids like me who have hobbys on quads and dont ride it ilegaly are doing something we like now the police are telling us we can ride these.

so think of it like this a 14 year old boy finds a hobby he like and the hobby is quad biking so he is away from houses he is not annoying anyone but oh no some sad sad person sees him and calls the police the police come down here and take the quad off him so now he starts hanging round in gangs on corners and he becomes a vandal and he strarts taking drugs.

so pepole like me find a hobby we like that keeps us from becoming thugs but then we cant go on them anymore.

so think about it whats worse quads or gangs n drugs

Hi everybody firstly I would like to say I am a coucil tenant who has worked all my life, I have four kids and have been married nearly 13 years. My wife and I have just purchased a quad bike for my kids and am finding it hard to find somewhere that I can take my kids to ride it. I read the comment about farmers pulling there fingers out to let people use there land and the problem with that is that if someone got hurt on there land those people would instantly think about suing the farmers so why should they help sorry but this is the world we live in. Local councils could look at activitys like this and help out so kids can be supervised whilst doing this sort of activity with safty in mind. P.s. If anybody knows of any places in the shropshire area please post. Thank you for listining

Look I dont live in the UK, im in america. but im pretty sure the laws are similar with quads and the road. I'm 12 and the only thing I want is a quad. BUT I dont have any god damn land. and this pisses me off because when I was about 8....i HAD land but I didnt think of getting a quad then... and now..right when I DO want a quad...these government idiots cut down my forest property and built a fricken airport. Now thanks to the increase and sucess of aviation, I cant get the only thing ill ever want. But if kids in the UK really ARE able to ride their quads or watever on the roads.....Then why cant I? and by the way bateman why dont ya go screw yourself you no life. because there aint nothing wrong with kids having fun on miniature dunebuggys
