Good work, IOW Police.
Let’s hope they tackle speeding too.
Everyday motorists are breaking the law.
Need to catch a few in Ryde, they are everywhere!
They bring over mainland police to sit in the main roads and catch people for minor offences, but let these clowns ride around the back streets with no licenses insurance helmets, pulling wheelies and generally acting dangerously.
The police really need to make stopping this a priority!
Good arrest. Still loads of private uninsured electric scooters being used. It is illegal except on private land. Riders also need at least a provisional driving licence too.
Many riders and parents of riders seem to think law on this does not apply ?
The only legal scooted are the Rental Ones.
Another Numpty druggy caught, needs banging up.
Cannabis is Anti-social it stinks.

Living near the.main road in Binstead, it needs a speed camera. Soon as it’s dark, boy racers scream through here at all speeds. Crazy.
