DEFA enforcing off-road laws

Government officials and police are joining up to enforce good behaviour from those in off road vehicles.

The Department of Environment, Food & Agriculture (DEFA) says over the next few days it's working with the constabulary, Green Lane User Group and ACU to police where off roaders have access to legally.

DEFA added it wants those on bikes, ATV's and in 4x4's to respect the Manx countryside as well as enjoy it by using designated routes.

In efforts to let people know which ones can be used, officials have launched a map of useable Island off-road highways which is available on the government website.
