For some reason they enjoy going up and down the same road, back and forth for upto 45 minutes before they get bored. Then perhaps return for some more 'fun' a few hours later. It is a quiet road off the busy roads and ideal not to be spotted by police. They make a racket from their bikes, or if they stop and chat very loudly to each other which is just as disturbing. As it is not a urgent matter, would the police come along and tick them off, assuming they get here before they go? There are several families with young kids, and many pensioners who don't like it either.
I myself have three cats (one of which is pregnant) and our house is on the corner (where the road also follows along). My cats always cross this road to get to some woods and tiny field. If any of them were hurt, I'd be really peeved off, as would the bikers when captured and tortured. Peacefully or not, what do you think can be done to sort them out?
In terms of bursting their tyres, many cars have to drive along the road as well..including mine
I'll give you an honest sensible answer instead of inciting criminal damage (tyre slashing) or further offences of causing danger to a vehicle on a road (piano wire across the road etc) or wasting Police time by false reporting of an accident (£80 ticket-able offence) etc etc
If they are are taxed, insured and have licences then there's technically nothing you can do as they have as much right to drive on the road than anyone else. If however they are committing offences then they can obviously be dealt with but the Police would have to catch then first and from experience, this is not easy as the officer would have to be there at the time and would have to be able to physically stop them (not as easy as it sounds).
If however, their actions are causing a nuisance, they could be given a warning under section 59 of the Police reform act which basically means that their manner of driving has caused some annoyance or distress and they are warned to behave. If they don't, they can have their vehicles seized and disposed of if necessary. This is something that would have to be proved or witnessed by an officer though so again not easy to do but not impossible.
Hope this helps
If you're looking for a scooter, you have three buying options: head to the dealership and get gouged, find an ad in the classifieds and hope for the best, or head to an online store.
