QUADS, GO PEDS AND MINI MOTOS


If you are thinking about buying your child a present then think very carefully before you put their lives or the lives of others in danger by buying them a quad, a go-ped or a mini moto.
These are not toys but they are powerful machines with the potential to kill or seriously injure children who use them. Please think seriously about where your child is going to use a vehicle and the legalities of it.
Under law quads, go peds or mini motos are actually classified as motor vehicles.
They are not suitable and not legal for use on roads or footpaths unless the rider has or complies with the following:
A driving licence

Road tax

Registration with DVLNI

Insurance

Lights and reflectors

Number plate

Must comply with all aspects of road traffic law

Fulfil all requirements of regulations relating to motor vehicles
