    4 year old told by Police its illegal to ride bike on pavement

    A 4 year old girl and her parents stopped by traffic police that it was illegal for her to ride her small bike with stabilisers on the pavement. police said they'd confiscate bike if she got back on it.

    Seriously, have the pigs got nothing better to do say, like catch a few scrotes or crims?

      Not true.

      Different areas have different by-laws.

      Some places make it very clear regardless of age if you cycle on the pavement its illegal like on one of my brothers' road. However the child can't be prosecuted.

      Likewise the arguments about parking on pavements. Depending on the by-laws in the area you may be allowed to.

        So child tries to do some cycling to make sure she does not add to the obese figures.

        Most parks are closed early and swimming pools rarely offer after school swim sessions.

        Is there an attempt to make everyone in the country fat?

          For dear old Freako, this relates to a 4 year old girl riding a bicycle on a pavement.
          But is there an explicit power of confiscation? If not, would resisting an attempt to confiscate be legitimate self-defence?

          No, silly me, 3 reliable police witnesses would have seen you initiate an unprovoked assault on a police officer.

            It's an over reaction by both sides.

            To be honest small kids on bikes are less likely to ride into than those on scooters.

              How is it an overreaction by both sides? She's 4 years old riding a little pink bike with stabilisers on it.

              Personally, Id have told the child to get on the bike in front of the copper and made him confiscate the bike then gone to town on him and the force. What next, put CCTV up in your own home to help the Police catch burglars? Oh, wait........

                  Assuming it is illegal then she is a crim. At what age does it stop become acceptable to break the law? 5? 6? 10? 16? 18? 21? 35?

                    any law about those fookin crazy nutters in the mobility scooters?

                    ah no sorry cannot do anything to them as they have a disability.

                    but 4 year old girls on pink bikes are fair game.

                    someone mind telling me why the economy is in a state?
