QUAD bike patrols have been carried out by police after “numerous complaints” about off-road motorcycles and anti-social behaviour.
Police officers visited Ormiston Bing, Carberry and the Crossgatehall area, with the patrols set to continue as police look to “deter and educate members of the public in relation to off-road bikes”.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “If you use an off-road bike on public roads you are required to have insurance, a valid MOT, tax and have notified DVLA that it is registered for use on the road.
“The rider must have completed the relevant driving tests.
“If the bike is a 125cc or less, a CBT will suffice as long as the bike is displaying L plates.
“If you require any further information, please contact Police Scotland on 101.”
