Motorbikes ought to be fixed with apparatus to prevent them from doing over 70mph, MPs stated yesterday.

The Commons Transport Committee asked for “radical action” to reduce ever increasing accident numbers.

And the politicians want more restrictions on “mini moto riders” "making life a misery for communities".

Prior to 2001, 7,000 were purchased per annum – that has soared to 170,000, in spite of seven people dying.

According to the Mirror the Transport Committee commented that it was "worrying that parents are purchasing them without understanding they can be dangerous.”
