Gardaí from the Kerry Roads Policing Unit witnessed a near miss involving a 12-year-old on an e-scooter, leading to the vehicle's confiscation.
As of May 2024, e-scooter regulations require users to be 16 or older, limit speed to 20km/h, and comply with road safety standards.
The incident followed a critical injury case involving a woman in her 50s on an e-scooter in Galway, highlighting growing concerns over rider safety.
E-scooters must not have seats, cannot carry goods or passengers, and must adhere to traffic rules similar to bicycles, emphasizing increased safety measures.
