MOTORCYCLISTS who race their bikes illegally in Dartford are risking having their vehicles seized.

Police have received complaints about dangerous riding between the two roundabouts on Southfleet Road in Bean.

Officers from the Dartford Neighbourhood Policing Team have said they will not hesitate to seize vehicles if they catch them being driven dangerously.

PC John Kilvington said: “Bikers have been riding without consideration for other road users and there have been numerous near misses in this area.

“Riders should be aware normal insurance does not cover time trials or racing.

“Any riders doing so risk having their bike seized for no insurance.”
