OFFICERS are reminding Exmouth residents whose youngsters own mini-Moto bikes to be aware the vehicles need taxing, MOT testing and the driver must hold a valid driving licence before taking to the road.
OFFICERS are reminding Exmouth residents whose youngsters own mini-Moto bikes to be aware the vehicles need taxing, MOT testing and the driver must hold a valid driving licence before taking to the road.
PC Mat Helm said the bikes fell under normal road laws unless the vehicle was ridden on privately-owned land.
The officer said anyone found flouting the law could face prosecution.
PC Helm said: "Whilst these are great fun for your child, they are noisy and anti-social to everyone else.
You may also want to watch:
"They are classed as motor bikes and need to be taxed and tested and the rider needs to in possession of a driving licence.
"This does not apply if you use it on private land - not council - with the land owner's permission.
