Police say officers in Derry have taken a dangerous uninsured scrambler bike of the city’s streets.

Police Derry City and Strabane say: “Officers seized this scrambler bike in the Tullyally area following a report made on Wednesday, July 24, about a scrambler bike being driven in Stevenson Park/Church Brae area.

“Waterside Neighbourhood officers responded and attended the area.

“Following enquiries, they seized a bike matching the description of the one reported.

“The bike seized had no insurance.

A male was spoken with, and a file is to be submitted to the Public Prosecution Service in relation to the matter.

“We understand the use of such motorised vehicles as a leisure activity can be fun but, those who use them must understand that, if used inappropriately, not only is there the impact on people’s lives in the community and safety concerns, but this can be against the law in certain circumstances.

“Some scramblers do not comply with Construction and Use Regulations and Vehicle Safety Standards and therefore are restricted to ‘off-road’ use only.

“This does not mean that they can be driven anywhere off-road.

“These vehicles should only be driven on private land where the landowner has given permission and should not be driven on pavements, roads, public property or parks. Insurance and safety equipment must be complied with as well, in order to drive these vehicles legally.

“To anyone thinking about buying these vehicles, we urge them to first think about where it is going to be used and the legalities surrounding its’ use.”
