When will they ban quads and ATVs from on the road?

[johnfm]

Government seems to spend a lot of effort clamping down speeding and mobile phone use while driving.

When are they going to get these anti-social things off the road?

Never seen one being ridden by anyone other than an irresponsible fkwit driving like a complete and utter loon.

They are only ridden on the roads by two sorts of person

- farmers with the mandatory sheepdog on the back; and

- Anti social chav tts.

The second have no business driving these things around on the road.

Shortly after they ban stereotyping.

Will that be just after they ban smoke emanating from fires?

What happens to those farmers?

They could have a carve out - those wearing brown or green clothing, wellies and with a dog on the back are ok.

Seriously, they don't need to ban anything - merely apply existing laws about dangerous/ wreckless/careless driving to get of them.

Ban?! I never saw a chav (on a quad bike) outside the city limits.
These things are a lot of fun (off road).

Agree totally. Just need to get them off the roads.

What an absolutely stupid OP.

I saw a rather smartly dressed chap pulling away from the petrol station on one last weekend. Had a little chuckle with the chap at the next pump, who was also a bit of a petrolhead.

So that's two votes in favour of the 'anti-social' monstrosities.

(plus the chap on it, so that's three)

Nope. They're a nuisance, driven irresponsibly by the type of people who don't give a toss about you, me or the police.

Get a fking life ...

Yes ,there are some who spoil it , giving everyone else a bad name..

What do you want to do next ,

Ban the fking car ....

No - just want to rid the streets of anti-social feral chavs on usually illegal machines being a menace to normal, law abiding people.

If these assorted thugs and chavs stayed in their council house dominated st holes I wouldn't give a toss.

Maybe just a GPS enabled immobiliser that renders the vehicle unusable in areas where people with jobs live.

how are they illegal? They have tax, insurance and MOT (hopefully) just like your car, they have every right to be on the road as you do.

Does this also mean motorbikes should be banned because they're often loud and sometimes ridden by yobs? Oh and maybe the car should be banned because they're often loud and sometimes driven by yobs?

There is law in place for 'anti-social feral chavs' why does it matter what mode of transport they use?

If they have straight through exhausts/no mufflers - yes, ban them from the road. It isn't a race track, not a contest for who can make the most noise.

You must live in a parallel Britain where those riding ATVs on the road aren't complete and utter cretins.
