Change age limit & Law for moped users so police can chase violent moped gangs

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In recent months, attacks by moped thugs have become more daring,violent & in some cases fatal,because the yobs have come to believe they are untouchable.Increasing numbers of moped muggers are stalking the streets, snatching mobile phones & throwing acid at members of the public and 999 services

The law must be changed so police can chase violent moped gangs without fear of prosecution if the rider fails to stop or is in a persuit. The minimum age for riding a moped should be increased to 18 & must have a FULL licence to carry a pillion passenger. If they are involved in any criminal activity using a moped they should face immediate ban for one year and there moped confiscated and crushed as a penalty if caught and found guilty. The law needs to be changed immediately on young offenders
