'Tragedy averted': Gardaí seize scrambler from 15-year-old driver with nine year old passenger
Not so cute when one of ours spotted it on Bateman Quay last night at 10:30pm driving with no lights on.“A 15-year-old ‘in control’ with a nine-year-old pillion passenger. No helmets and wearing shorts and flip flops.“Seized under Section 109a RTA and to be destroyed. Obviously a serious follow up with Tusla also.
