New York City Mayor Eric Adams delivered a clear message this week to
residents who own and operate illegal vehicles. "You want to terrorize our
neighborhoods?" the mayor's office tweeted. "You'll get crushed."
During a press conference held at a Brooklyn auto pound on Tuesday, Adams
spoke about a cooperative effort between the mayor's office and police
department to rid city streets of illegal motorbikes. He then had a
bulldozer ceremoniously plow through a lineup of dirt bikes and ATVs. The
vehicles, which are illegal to ride in any of New York City's five
boroughs, had previously been confiscated and impounded by the NYPD.
"Today, as we stand in the shadow of the Freedom Tower, we are freeing
ourselves from these destructive pieces of machinery," said Adams during
the press conference. "They will be crushed today so that they can never
terrorize our city again. Each and every one of them, they will be turned
into scrap metal and eventually recycled."
Police have reportedly seized about 2,000 illegal motorbikes from New
Yorkers since January of this year, according to NYPD Commissioner
Keechant Sewell. That sum marked an 80% increase from the number of dirt
bikes and ATVs removed from city streets during the same period in 2021.
The mayor said he plans to ask the state legislature to implement stricter
requirements for ATV retailers so that buyers must provide proof of
insurance and registration before purchasing one.
"Many of these bikes don't have insurance. If they strike someone, the
person is left with medical costs and other out of pocket expenses," he
said.
Adams introduced a package of safety initiatives that specifically focus
on New York City roadways, sidewalks and subway trains, CBS New York
reports. On the heels of a fatal accident that occurred last week in a
Brooklyn subway station, where a man was dragged to death after his
clothes became caught in the train door while exiting, the mayor announced
a new MTA campaign to educate passengers about the safest places to stand
on subway platforms.
