No ride is worth losing everything ❌

We are kicking off the 2026 FIFA World Cup with some friendly advice for young riders, in the form of three infographics highlighting potential ‘red card offences’ - especially when it comes to riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

With England and Scotland playing in the tournament, there will be plenty of chances to watch the games at live events in towns and cities.

As fun as this is - it brings about extra risks for young riders, especially given the late kick off times for the tournament in US, Canada and Mexico.

Of course, the vast majority know not to ride after drinking alcohol or taking drugs, that is common sense. But what is less well known is how long it takes for these substances to pass through your body.

You could easily still be over the limit the morning after, putting yourself and others at risk if you choose to ride.

So our message is simple, leave the bike at home. It's simply not worth the own goal.

Our advice 🤝


Know the law!

Riding a motorcycle when impaired by drink or drugs is a criminal offence and police officers can ‘test and arrest’ if the rider is found to be positive. Even if the young person has drunk alcohol or used drugs the night before, the ‘morning after’ can find them above the legal limit and detained by police.

What's the penalty? It's an automatic ban from riding, fine and disqualification for at least 12 months – particularly consequential for those working in the GIG economy.
