‘Ride Safely And Responsibly At All Times
The Bermuda Police Service is “reminding parents and guardians of the need to ensure their children ride safely and responsibly at all times.”
A police spokesperson said, “There has been an increase in young people using electric scrambler type bikes. Although these vehicles are not currently required to be licensed or insured, they are still subject to Bermuda’s road traffic laws.
“This includes offences such as careless riding, dangerous riding, and failing to obey traffic signals or stop signs. These rules are in place to protect not only the riders themselves, but all road users including pedestrians.
“There is increasing concern regarding bikes being ridden on private property and in landscaped areas, causing damage. Such actions may result in offences relating to trespassing and wilful damage.
“The Bermuda Police Service is committed to keeping our roads and communities safe, and we are asking for the continued support of parents and guardians in reinforcing these expectations with young riders. By working together and promoting lawful, considerate riding, we can help ensure that everyone remains safe.”
