by  Keith Knowles 5/14/2011

Although there are no legal restrictions on driving quad bikes over private land and a blanket ban on driving them - or any vehicle - over public land such as parks and commons, the law applying to driving quad bikes on the open road is a little more complicated.

In regard to the riders, it is a little ironic that, despite quad bikes making their first appearance back in the late 1960s as an innovative motorcycle adaptation by Honda, UK law today views a quad bike not as a motorbike but as a light vehicle.

It is therefore imperative that ...
