They’ve even started bringing them into schools for road safety education days and letting TY students drive them. What’s the actual mandatory age to be allowed drive one?

Well I know one thing, neither of my kids will ever own one.

Because you are decent parent, the majority of the cunts zooming around on them are dragged up.

What about a jumpscooter?

Right on my lessons route @maurice_brown only heard about it 2 days ago, it shook me.

Is the legal age not 16 now. Boys will be boys but the parents won’t forgive themselves if they knew he had one.

I don’t have any of the details, so just guessing here.
But the rural roads around Bonnettstown and rural Kilkenny would not be suitable for a bike not to mind a scooter. You’d want to be stopping and standing into the ditch when a car is coming.

You better believe it. Was on a bike recently on a small rural road. Came across 2 commercial vehicles that were neither slowing or stopping, so I had to hop into the hedgerows. The roads are seriously dangerous places.

The young lad killed in Kildare had snuck out without oarents knowing. God help them.
