A seven-year-old was caught riding an off-road bike illegally, prompting police to seize the vehicle on New Year’s Eve in Huyton
Huyton: Can you believe this? A seven-year-old was caught riding an off-road bike on the road! It happened on New Year’s Eve, and the police had to step in.
So, the Merseyside Police got a call about this kid zooming around on the bike. When they showed up, they found out it was a child riding solo. The little one said it was a Christmas gift, but unfortunately, it’s illegal to ride those bikes on the road.
Now, the police had to take the bike away. They’re serious about this stuff. Parents need to know that letting kids ride scramblers or quad bikes in public can lead to trouble.
Brian Loughran, the local inspector, expressed his concern. He said it’s really worrying to see such a young child on the roads. It’s not just illegal; it’s dangerous for everyone involved.
They’re following their protocols and will keep seizing bikes that are being used recklessly. They don’t want to ruin kids’ fun, but safety comes first. Better to take the bike than risk a trip to the hospital, right?
