Labour proposes new police powers to seize noisy dirt and quad bikes within 48 hours and increase on-the-spot fines for off-road bike use.

Labour plans to give police new powers to scrap noisy dirt and quad bikes within 48 hours as part of a crackdown on antisocial behaviour. The party also wants to increase on-the-spot fines for off-road bike use, currently as low as £100. Labour's proposal includes shorter time limits for disposing of seized bikes, which would reduce costs and prevent offenders from reclaiming their vehicles.
