The next door neighbour had bought his lads a petrol scooter for

They would ride it on the streets where its illegal.


Is it illegal to ride them on the street?

I would not have had a go on it when his kids offered and driven it down the
street if I had known that it was illegal to do so.

Not sure if you are saying that Tongue in cheek or not ,but you
probably have more to lose than the youngsters if caught.
They might not be too inconvenienced by points being allocated to a
licence they may not have yet for using a vehicle without insurance
etc,type approval registration plate , etc etc on a public road and
the adjoining pavements.


I doubt it needs a registration number/plate or, if it does, it should
be the least important issue ...

Adam will surely have a blanket clause in his insurance covering him for
any other vehicle "not owned ... by him ...".

It is the his neighbour and the kids who are in the firing line - if the
local plod are interested ...

.... or 'could be' interested ...!
