This seems very reactive. What are they banning exactly and how do they define a “scrambler”? Remains to be seen I guess.
Surely most of these bikes are already not allowed on the roads if they don’t have registration and aren’t “street legal”?
As was said in other previous threads, the issue is around enforcement of existing laws.
I don’t know how they are going to enforce it beyond the current enforcement levels. Guards won’t chase bikes because of the implications if they crash.
Why the fuck do they need new legislation. They aren’t road legal, they can already be seized. Give the gaurds legislation that they can ram the cunts off them like they do in the UK.
Had they enforced the already existing laws Grace’s death wouldn’t have happened. Instead they just post on Facebook every Christmas telling parents don’t buy a scrambler for your child, as if that’ll do anything.
