“section 34. 1(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 states,
If without lawful authority a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle-
On to or upon any common land, moor land or land of any other description, not being land forming part of a road. He is guilty of an offence.
The police should also prosecute them for this, not just a warning!”
