It was interesting because I'm torn on this and the more I'm reading about it, the more I'm siding with a complete ban.
And I was at a farm walk actually on Friday and the landowner was talking about consistent trespassing on the land and opening gates and this, that and the other thing.
But the landowner was trying to police it in best she could.
But as it turned out, when the guards came, they said they were under 16 and they said it and the guards just let them off.
So she said, and that was a persistent thing that she had come across.
Was that scramblers though?
No, this is them trespassing.
So they're saying they're under 16.
So it's very difficult to prosecute and all that's associated with it.
There isn't obviously, Oberstown, there isn't enough room.
But like my fear with this is that if it comes to this, they're saying they're over 16.
Because if you're over 16, the other thing in the papers today they spoke about
you know, the ability to override the mechanisation to go over the 20 kilometres.
And there's a lot of people that service and repair these that are being asked to override it.
Just one other point I want to make is around the insurance is a really alarming issue.
So basically, compliant e-scooters are exempt from mandatory insurance.
So injury compensation often falls to the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland only if the scooter exceeds the legal spec.
So if you have a legal e-scooter, there is no insurance.
So who picks up the tab if you damage a car or somebody is like... The insurance would seem an obvious one to target.
But you could change that.
