dirt bike laws

(1/7) > >>

stretchy:

is it illegal to push a dirt bike along the pavement or road ??

if its taken of you can you get it back ?

karlo:
Yes it is illegal, but I have no idea about getting it back if it's confiscated.

sv130:
 I,m not 100% sure but I reckon its illegal.
 If you think about it you could just swap the scenario over to:
  pushing an uninsured untaxed off road car up the footpath to the local patch of moorland/pay and play site. I don,t think you would get away with it, do you?

Disco Matt:
It'd be illegal to use it on "the local patch of moorland" no matter how you got it there!

The only legal place to use an unregistered vehicle is on a private site with the owner's permission, such as a pay and play.

I think this might be a case of the law being an ass - how is pushing a bike any different to, say, pushing a large pram or wheelchair in real terms?

Llanigraham:
Because a motorbike is the same as any motorised vehicle, and to be on the highway has to have tax, MOT and insurance.
