Make ALL wheeled vehicles capable of 10mph, even unpowered, show number plates
Some users of off-road bikes, cycles etc use their vehicles irresponsibly, which in some cases has caused severe injury or death. Traffic laws are not obeyed or vehicles are used where they are not allowed eg scrambler bikes in parks or farmland. Pedestrian/cyclist collisions are well documented.
A recent incident involved off-road bikes killing a working sheepdog and riding away without stopping. Cyclists can be seen running red lights or a stop sign, failing to yield the right of way, not obeying directional or traffic control road markings, riding through pedestrian crossings on red lights which can have fatal consequences (see https://www.london.gov.uk/questions/2018/0721 ). Without an identifying numberplate these people can often not be called to account.

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
It seems that are mainly concerned about cyclists, in which case you may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/561046
