Pembroke Dock Neighbourhood Policing Team are reminding people about the law regarding 'mini motos'. Mini motos are small scale models of various motorcycles and quads usually purchased by parents for their children. Officers are regularly receiving complaints about these vehicles being driven illegally around the Pembroke Dock area. Any mini motor be it a motorcycle or quad is 'mechanically propelled' and is classed in law as a motor vehicle and thus brings them under the same laws as any other motor vehicle. This means these vehicles need to be registered, tax, tested and insured if used on a road or in a public area. However, mini motors are not constructed to the approved standard it is not possible to register, tax or insure them. These vehicles can never be used legally on the road. PC Craig Morgan, of Pembrokeshire Roads Policing Unit, said: "Young people using mini motos and other similar vehicles are often the cause of complaints about anti-social behaviour. These vehicles are regularly used on footpaths and pavements which causes a danger to the most vulnerable members of society that being young children and the elderly. "We are urging parents to ensure that these vehicles are not used on the road or in any other public area. "If anyone is caught using one of these vehicles in a public place the vehicle will be seized and the rider prosecuted for the relevant offences, which will result in a fine and in certain circumstances penalty points on their driving licence." PCSOs in Pembroke Dock are patrolling areas around the town where complaints of mini motos have been received, particularly near the Cleddau Bridge Toll Booths and Criterion Way (behind Asda's garage) and will seize any vehicles involved in illegal activities which cause offence to local residents. Mini motos can be used on private land, but only with the land owners written permission, children should be supervised by an appropriate adult at all times.
