The Issue

Every day I experience near misses with riders on e-motor bikes, quad bikes, off-road bikes, and even stolen bikes, recklessly zooming through our streets. These individuals, showing no respect for the law, put both themselves and others at risk. No route feels safe, and the constant threat makes me worry not just for my own safety, but for the safety of families, children, and the elderly in our community.

The rise in antisocial behavior linked to the irresponsible use of these bikes is a pressing issue that demands urgent legislative intervention. We need stronger laws in place to address and curb this problem effectively. Local authorities should have the power to evict offenders from rented properties, if they repeatedly engage in such unlawful behavior. Additionally, vehicles involved in these incidents should be sold to cover the costs expended by police resources deployed to manage such situations.

Moreover, giving police stronger, clearer powers and effective tactics to address this nuisance will act as a significant deterrent. Our law enforcement agencies need the backing of stringent legal frameworks to take decisive actions — actions that send a strong message that such behavior will not be tolerated. The ability to impound bikes, levy heavy fines, and arrest offenders should be streamlined and made consistent across all regions.

According to recent reports, incidents involving reckless bike riding have surged across various urban areas, putting countless lives at risk and overwhelming local law enforcement. Without proper legislative support, our police forces are left severely handicapped in their efforts to combat this danger.

By signing this petition, you are urging our lawmakers to act swiftly and decisively. Let's work together to reclaim our streets and restore a sense of safety to our neighborhoods. Demand legislative change now to protect our communities from the dangers posed by antisocial behavior on reckless bikes.
