Under the Police Reform Act 2002, anyone caught driving illegally or anti-socially again within the next 12 months can have their vehicles seized and potentially crushed.
Riders or drivers can also be reported for traffic offences and be issued with Community Protection Warnings which set out conditions around their behaviour.
SNT Inspector Jeff Scott said: “The message is quite simple - anti-social driving has the potential to put lives at risk; not only the drivers themselves but other innocent road users and pedestrians too. It also causes noise nuisance.
