Gardaí warn scramblers and quad bikes pose 'immense danger' in Cork City

Last year, 15 incidents involving scrambler bikes and four involving quad bikes were recorded by Cork City gardaí

Primary legislation on quad bikes and scramblers has not yet passed through the Oireachtas.

Scrambler and quad bikes are posing an ‘immense danger’ to the public in parts of Cork City, a senior garda has warned.

Petrol stations are now being carefully monitored by gardaí to intercept any illegal or dangerous behaviour with these vehicles, Chief Superintendent Barry McPolin said.
