A SOUTH Burnett motorcyclist has taken people’s lives into his own hands on not once, but two separate occasions, by dangerously driving an unregistered trail bike.
Police have charged a man with multiple offences following the incidents on April 21 and April 22.
On April 21, a man allegedly rode an unregistered trail bike without a helmet, into oncoming traffic on Mackenzie St, Wondai, forcing a vehicle off the road.
The rider then allegedly rode through Coronation Park and onto the rail trail towards Murgon.
A South West Police spokesman further alleged the same male rider caused a second incident at the same location the next day, with the same unregistered trail bike.

“During the search, a small quantity of cannabis and a drug utensil were also allegedly located …
“As a result, a Honda CR450F was seized and impounded by police.
“A 32-year-old Murgon man was arrested and charged with a number of offences relating to these incidents.”
