Horton Road, Datchet – unqualified driver with passenger on illegal motorbike?

Posted on September 7, 2026September 7, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

Photographed on Horton Road, Datchet – 6 September 2026 at 17.27 hrs.

Further to my report about motorbikes on the Recreation Ground – neither the rider nor the passenger on this motorbike on the Horton Road is wearing a helmet, and the rider appears to be underage and unlicensed — a common but illegal and dangerous practice.   Surely riding with one hand exacerbates the risks?  I have erased their faces and shared this image to document the issue and support road safety awareness.  If you know these two and would like to offer their names – the Thames Valley Police Report No. is 1637 of 6th September 2026.
