Default Good news from Merseyside...

....or should I say bad news, turning better?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-43212823

First, the bad news:

QUOTE:
Relatives of a great-grandmother who was killed by a teenager on a
scrambler bike say "something must change".

May Laidlaw, 78, was hit as she crossed a road in Liverpool in December.
A 14-year-old boy was detained after admitting causing death by
dangerous driving and failing to stop.
ENDQUOTE

Now, the good (in fact, excellent) news:

QUOTE:
Mrs Laidlaw's family said they want police to have more powers to tackle
people who use illegal scrambler bikes.

A police chief said he believed some bikes were 'like a weapon'.

Merseyside Police has arrested more than 100 people and seized 300
off-road bikes in its recent Operation Brookdale campaign, crushing
scramblers found to be ridden illegally.
ENDQUOTE

That's the way to do it.
