Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to improve enforcement against dangerous riding among moped and motorcycle delivery riders.

The Government is clear that dangerous or anti-social riding by any road user, including moped and motorcycle delivery riders, is unacceptable. Those who break the law should expect robust enforcement action.

A strong legislative framework is already in place. The police have a range of powers to tackle dangerous riding and wider road traffic offences, including prosecution, penalty points, and, where appropriate, seizing vehicles being used illegally, dangerously or in an anti-social manner.

The Crime and Policing Act 2026 has strengthened these powers by enabling officers to seize vehicles involved in anti-social or dangerous use without the need to issue a prior warning, helping to stop offending more quickly and deter reoffending. The Government has also consulted on measures to enable swifter disposal of vehicles used in this way. The Government response to the consultation was published on 9 June. It sets out our intention to reduce and align timelines to dispose of seized vehicles from up to three months to seven days. Changes will be made when legislative time allows.

Taken together, these measures ensure that police have robust powers to act against dangerous riding, including among moped and motorcycle delivery riders.
