Yep, after I got a licence.

Oh OK the problem is the kids not having a license and not the noise and racing.

Make a safe place for the races, away from the public traffic.

But then there would be no bullies, gangs and cheating.

Better yet, auction them off and use the proceeds to feed hungry people.

 

Fine in principle but we all know where the money would go; and it wouldn't be into feeding hungry people !

I don't see the problem with boys being boys with fast and loud motorbikes. JHC didn't any of you old gits have a youth.

 

Could not have said it better ( without being banned from TV )

Yes, tear the mufflers from these motorbikes, then have a public auction to raise money.

Register all the people at the auction so that if any bikes get noisy mufflers, half the info

on the people will be on file. Crush some of the rusty ones that won't get much money,

just to show choice number two.

However, their motorcycles have been seized and are parked at the station, after police found that their mufflers had been modified so that noise from the exhaust pipes exceeded the legal limit.

Crush the bikes, they cannot repeat the offence and it will warn others to stay away !

"Gramps"

How old are you ?

You are probably older than I am .

You may be impressed by a group of 15 year olds driving around on mopeds that sound like Harleys , to me, its an annoyance .

  If kids want to act stupidly and dangerously, its up to us adults to teach them of their errors , otherwise they will grow up thinking noisy bikes are impressive

I'm sure you may change your mind when the family are suing you as one of these underage idiots went under the wheels of your car dodging traffic

I suggest that you move out here. People like you are a plague in the internet...subjective and malicious...

So those big Honda bikes the Police have are of no use?

You want to make holsters for the guns out of old tyres?

[digger70]

Useless Cops, They should Just take Pics of the Number plates from the ones they Can't catch an visit them at Home. Fine the Parents/Legal Guardian that let the under age riders ride the Bike and than confiscate the Bike .

The kids are under 16, so it´s impossible that they have a driver license. I hope there will come a hefty fine for the parents that they allow the kids driving. But I guess nothing will happen. 

 

It can´t be so difficult to find them when the bikes are so loud.

The legal age for a bike licence here is 15......car licence is 18....

I didn't know Thai police guns had an attachment for removing tyres????

[ubon farang]

Goes to show how useless the RTP are. They cant stop these bikes and they cant stop bad drivers. What can they stop? Oh one thing they can stop. Doing a days work and doing there job.

[Redline]

Water cannons

Yeah, I get it and it's a very bad idea. I will assume you are making a bad joke. 

Nobody needs bullets flying around trying to hit tires on moving vehicles, especially motorcycles. 

Real life is not the same as cop movies.

Trained police officers are helpless against teenagers on motorcycles.  If I read this right they set up check points waiting for the street racers to come to them.  I guess going out to catch them would be too bothersome.    

Not allowed to chase them as it's too dangerous to the racers as well as to other road users. Fortunately police here don't work like those in the USA - shoot (or strangle to death) first and ??? later
