Police in Foxton and Foxton Beach are proactively dealing with reports made over bad driving on dirt and quad bikes in the area, with three bikes so far impounded.
“Police would like to urge all quad bike and dirt bike riders to ride safely. Wear your helmets, drive to a safe speed, and know your responsibilities,” said Acting Sergeant Mike Skates.
“Police are asking the public to continue to make reports on dangerous driving so that officers can follow them up and hold offenders to account.”
A/Sgt Skates said photos and video footage are helpful for Police to follow up on offenders that quickly speed off when driving unlawfully.
“These can also be used to identify the bikes, hotspots and times dangerous driving occurs and helps to identify the riders,” he said.
