Scramblers are 'killer machines', warns Cork City councillor

Garda chief says road traffic legislation applies to scramblers regarding driving licences and insurance 'because they are mechanically propelled vehicles under the Road Traffic Act and the NCT rules and regulations apply as well'.

A Cork city councillor said scramblers were ā€œkiller machinesā€ which would end up injuring a child ā€œor worseā€.

Worker’s Party councillor Ted Tynan was speaking at the Cork City Joint Policing Committee meeting, which also heard concerns about a dramatic increase in the number of vehicles stolen across the city since the start of the year.
