Great result for @WYP_WKBikeCops . Anyone considering buying one of these bikes and using it on the roads or in public places needs to check out the law, otherwise it could be an expensive mistake!
We've had lots of complaints about this electric bike flying around Ossett recently. We managed to get hold of it yesterday. Bike seized and rider reported to court for having no licence or insurance.
📍 @Durpol_Bikes carried out patrols across #Weardale last weekend.
The dales are known for their beauty and we can see why the roads are particularly attractive to bikers.
Utilising the 'Speedwatch' initiative we aim to reduce speeding vehicles across our rural communities.
The current laws around E-scooters in the UK can be a little tricky to understand.

Good news for #Darlington residents 🙌
The Section 59 signs which are already in use in the West End and Red Hall areas have been extended to cover the Firthmoor area.
This means that anyone seen riding an off-road bike anti-socially will have their vehicle seized immediately.
👏 Good luck to DCC Dave Orford who is marking his retirement by hiking 84 miles for charity.
The 52-year-old is hiking the entire length of Hadrian’s Wall next week to raise money for @PTCentres and @Soldierscharity.

Six-year-old Noah was seriously injured after being knocked off his bike by a man who’d taken drugs before getting behind the wheel.
Now, his family are calling for police to be given more powers to ban drug drivers. You may finds some parts of this video upsetting ⬇️
