[i]Want to understand why kids feel the need to behave like this?[/i]
Because they're kids?
Cycling proficiency courses at the school might be a better way forward. I know I enjoyed mine some 35 years ago..
Learn a bit of road sense, maybe get the local Bobby and cycle team in to show a few videos or give talks of how cycling accidents can end up? And how it should be done.. A bit of positive reinforcement goes a long way.
Making lots of random rules is asking for rebellion lol! Education is far more effective, expecially with it being a school and all.
Mixture of ‘he really shouldn’t be doing that’ with ‘little shit, I wish i could do that’
Lol 😆
So do something. Don’t Palm it off on the school.
I'm not palming anything off on anyone, I am not bothered if they end up spread out under a bus to be honest. I’m just explaining why the head in this story may feel the need to try and do something about the situation,
Dangerous riding on road? Call police.
This also gets done regularly. The police are doubtless sick of hearing the same complaint too.
But it Still happens every day.
Also riding dirt bikes and scooters (in the same way) no helmets, no licence, tax or insurance (as the bikes aren’t road legal, no lights/indicators/number plates etc)
This is all in broad daylight through the middle of a busy village high street
The Police seem powerless to do anything about either of these issues. As do the school (obviously)
I know a couple of primary heads. They are forever fielding calls from locals about parking, school run, behaviour etc. Calls that take up time from more important duties. People parking inconsiderably is the most common. At least there he can ask for the reg and put in the school bulletin and quickly look like he’s doing something.
This head is probably fed up with calls about cycling and just wanted to do something to reduce this workload. It might not be the right solution but I can see why they wanted to do something and be seen to do it.
