A takeaway not delivered, or at least delayed, might have been the hook, but Garda in Kilkenny used their Facebook page to deliver a more serious message which applies nationwide: Using souped-up bicycle-shaped objects risks not bicycle-level fines but Court-based motoring fines. Under Irish law, a legal e-bike is a pedal-assisted electric bicycle with a maximum continuous rated power output of 250 watts, and a maximum speed of 25km/h before the motor stops helping. Anything else is a moped or even a motorcycle depending on speed and power.If a device exceeds the e-bike limits or has a throttle that lets you use the bike without pedalling, it does matter if pedals are present; it wont be counted as a bicycle or legal e-bike. Takeaway service continues, said the official An Garda Sochna Kilkenny Facebook page. Kilkenny Roads Policing Unit were somewhat alarmed last night when they encountered a delivery rider on an e-moped with no lights travelling at roughly 40km/h in the City.The 1,000-watt machine had throttle-only capability and was capable of speeds of up to 45km/h. The machine is classed as an L1e-B Moped, and it requires the user to (1) wear a helmet, (2) have an AM Driving Licence, (3) register the vehicle, (4) tax the vehicle, and (5) insure the vehicle, they said.Garda added: The machine was seized under Section 109a of the Road Traffic Act and it will be destroyed unless its user is successful in an application to the District Court. The rider will have a mandatory court appearance for no insurance and, at the discretion of the Judge, have their Learner Permit suspended. If you are using a similar machine, remember those rules apply to you too.Chart: Know your devices(clicking image links to Google Sheets version) Notes:Published by IrishCycle.com, based on information provided by the Department of Transport. The above is an overview of the differences, not an exhaustive list of rules that apply.All higher-power and any e-scooter that does not comply with the above technical parameters for scooters remain illegal for use on public roads. E-scooters must be fitted with front and rear lights and reflectors, brakes, a bell, and a manufacturers plate certifying the power output, weight and design speed.Devices are classed depending on their full requirements for example, if a bike has pedals but the motor can go faster than 25km/h, then it will be the higher-powered mopeds, or if a scooter meetsall other requirements but doesnt have a manufacturers plate outlining the required detail, then it is not road legal, or if a bikes motor max speed is 25km/h but it has a throttle, it may be classed as an L1e-B moped. Normal rules for each device apply for example, brakes and other requirements for all devices. This is not a comprehensive guide to legal requirements.This is designed as an easy-to-read overview of the law. It may not be fully comprehensive.

1,621 e-scooter users and cyclists were fined for running red lights between 2024 and September this year, according to a parliamentary answer. As part of the parliamentary question, data was not requested on the number of motorists fined, but a previous red light camera trial showed that more motorists than cyclists ran red lights.The vast majority of offences recorded happened in the Dublin area, according to the Minister for Justice, who provided the data to Dublin-based Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon. Deputy Gannon asked for the number of fixed charge notices, prosecutions or other enforcement actions taken in respect of e-bike users and e-scooter users failing to comply with traffic lights in each of the years 2024, 2025 and to date in 2026, broken down by category of road user and Garda division where available, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.Minister for Justice Jim OCallaghan said: I am advised by the Garda authorities that failure to comply with traffic lights is dealt with by way of FCN (Fixed Charge Notice). As outlined in the table provided below, the offence can arise in the context of pedal cycles (including e-bikes) and separately for e-scooters.I am further advised that An Garda Sochna can only prosecute these alleged offences on an intercept basis, e.g. where the Garda stops the alleged offender at the time of or shortly after the alleged offence, the Minister said in a written parliamentary answer.He said locations where breaches are commonly reported at busy pedestrian crossings and junctions are the subject of local enforcement, and that An Garda Sochna also proactively uses Days of Action to enforce and improve compliance.The Department provided the table below showing the number of FCNs issued for the relevant offences in 2024, 2025 and to 2026, as of September 1st:Offence202420252026Cyclist Cycling Past A Red Traffic Light. Contrary to Section 35(5) of the Road Traffic Act, 1994362589417Failure by driver of a Powered Personal Transporter to obey traffic lights13132108Minister OCallaghan added: The Garda authorities have advised that the data have been provided at a national level as divisional breakdown would have resulted in significant redactions. The Deputy may be interested to note, however, that the vast majority of FCNs issued for both categories of offence occurred in the Dublin Metropolitan Region, with approximately 90% of FCNs issued in the period. Data provided is correct as of 1 September 2026, is operational and is liable to change.

Il Lombardia 2026 ResultSaturday 10 October Bergamo Como 239kmPaul Seixas wins solo 5:49:28 41.033km/hBen Healy 12th at 1:20 Eddie Dunbar DNF 114 of 174 finishedPaul Seixas won the 120th Il Lombardia alone in Como on Saturday, attacking on Civiglio with 18 kilometres to go and holding off Enric Mas by 48 seconds. At 20 years and 16 days, the Frenchman is the youngest winner in the races history.He takes the record from Giovanni Gerbi, who won the very first edition in 1905 aged 20 years, five months and eight days. Only three riders have won a Monument younger Victor Fastr and Georges Ronsse at LigeBastogneLige and Rik Van Steenbergen at the Tour of Flanders, all Belgians.Giulio Ciccone took third at 1:05, his second podium in six days after European Championship silver in enur. Remco Evenepoel won the sprint for fourth from the chasing group at 1:20, with Brandon McNulty fifth on the same time.Seixas is the first French winner of Lombardia since Thibaut Pinot in 2018, and the first Frenchman to win any Monument since Julian Alaphilippe at MilanSan Remo in 2019. It is also the first Monument for Decathlon CMA CGM in the teams 34-year history.How it was wonThe race went from the gun at 11:15 with 174 starters. Fourteen riders built the days break on and after the Selvino: Michael Leonard, Maxime Decomble, Ben OConnor, Andrea Mifsud and Johannes Kulset went at 29km, Antonio Tiberi, George Bennett, Sylvain Moniquet, Fausto Masnada, Pau Mart and Gijs Leemreize joined them at 32km, Louis Vervaeke at 38km, and Julien Bernard and Victor Campenaerts at 47km. Their lead peaked at 2:46 at 105km.The Madonna del Ghisallo, which starts at 170km, split the break. Eight were left at the front, and Moniquet led them over the chapel at the summit. Behind, McNulty, Quinn Simmons, Matteo Jorgenson and Christian Scaroni went clear of the bunch near the top and crossed 47 seconds down, picking up Masnada on the way. They were caught at 198km.The break still had 1:05 with 37 kilometres to go, but that came down quickly on the finishing circuit. It was 46 seconds on the first ascent of San Fermo della Battaglia and 23 seconds with 20km to go, and the last of the escapees were caught at 220km.Civiglio decided it, as the route suggested it might: 4.2 kilometres at 9.7%, the hardest climb on the circuit. Seixas had planned to attack there but went earlier than intended, about two kilometres up, because the pace was lower than he expected. At the summit, 222km, he led Ciccone and Mas by 23 seconds, with Pidcock and Filippo Zana at 38 seconds and Evenepoels group at 50.The gap grew all the way to the line. It was 38 seconds with eight kilometres left. Soon after, Mas, wary of Ciccones sprint, attacked him and went on alone; Ciccone rode the finale on his own for third. Mas was 46 seconds down at the flamme rouge and 48 at the finish. The chasing group of nine came in at 1:20, where Evenepoel led McNulty, Pidcock, Pello Bilbao, Scaroni, Zana, Mathys Rondel and Ramses Debruyne home, with Ben Healy 12th.It was a race of attrition: only 114 of the 174 starters finished.What they saidThe plan was to attack on Civiglio, I just did it a bit before I wanted to, only 2km after the start of the climb, because I expected a higher pace, Seixas said. I was hoping to crest in first position with at least 15 seconds lead so nobody could catch me. I knew the rest of the course was nice for one man solo. It was exactly the type of effort I could manage alone. I didnt take any risk in the downhill.Its beautiful and crazy to win a Monument. I dont really care about being the youngest winner, I just care about winning. I hope itll be inspiring for young riders from my country as much as Thibaut Pinots win eight years ago was inspiring for me. I skipped the European championships because I wanted to win here. It makes it an awesome second pro season.Mas, who won the Vuelta a Espaa a month ago, matched his second place here in 2022. Today, Paul was stronger than us, he said. I knew Giulio Ciccone was a very fast rider in the sprint so I had to attack him. The world championships were a disaster for me but I recovered. I felt better at the Tre Valli Varesine so I came to Il Lombardia with confidence.Ciccone, third here for the second time after 2024, admitted he paid for trying to go with Seixas. I was suffering a lot on the second last climb, he said. Paul Seixas rode super fast up Civiglio and I made a small mistake to try and follow him. Hes super strong. The way he won this Monument, he deserves it. Its my third podium in a Monument, my second here. The first place would have been better but I can be happy.By the numbersSeixas is the 80th different winner in 120 editions, and was the youngest rider on the start line.France now has 13 Lombardia wins from ten riders Garrigou, Plissier, Bobet, Darrigade, Hinault, Mottet, Delion, Jalabert, Pinot and Seixas.Dorian Godon won GranPiemonte this week, making it only the second year French riders have won both races, after Christian Jourdan and Bernard Hinault.Sylvain Moniquet took the Pier Luigi Todisco award, presented by La Gazzetta dello Sport, for being first over the Madonna del Ghisallo.Next: the Roc dAzurSeixas is not finished yet. Less than 24 hours after his win in Como he swaps to a mountain bike for the 55km Roc dAzur in Frjus on Sunday morning, starting at 08:15 (07:15 Irish time), the last race of his season. Bruno Armirail, the European time trial silver medallist, is also entered.Irish ridersBen Healy finished 12th, in the chasing group that came in 1:20 behind Seixas. He followed the favourites across the Ghisallo and onto the finishing circuit, and stayed with them over Civiglio and San Fermo.Eddie Dunbar did not finish. He was one of 60 riders to abandon, among them his Pinarello-Q36.5 teammates Marcel Camprub, Mark Donovan and Quinten Hermans.IRLIrish RidersIl Lombardia 202612Ben HEALY (61)EF

Tour of Chongming Island 2026 Final911 October Chongming Island, Shanghai, China UCI Womens WorldTourLara Gillespie second overall at 15 seconds 3rd, 2nd, 2nd on the stagesLorena Wiebes wins all three stages and the overall Marine Lenehan 44thIrishFinal GCPointsStage 3Stage 2Stage 1Lara Gillespie finished second overall at the Tour of Chongming Island on Sunday, 15 seconds behind Lorena Wiebes, after three days in which the Irishwoman was the only rider able to stay with the Dutch sprinter at the line. Marine Lenehan, Irelands other rider in the race, finished all three stages for Lidl-Trek.Wiebes won all three stages and the overall classification. Gillespie, riding for UAE Team LImad, was third on the opening stage and second on each of the next two, and her finishing bonuses lifted her to the runner-up spot ahead of Lidl-Treks Clara Copponi, who was third at 26 seconds. Gillespie was also second in the points classification, 41 points to Wiebes 52.How the race wentStage 1, 110.4km of laps around the south of the island finishing at Chongming New City Park, came down to a bunch sprint after Ruby Roseman-Gannon of Liv AlUla Jayco was reeled in from a late move inside the last six kilometres. Gillespie got in between Wiebes and her lead-out rider, Barbara Guarischi, but Wiebes came round her to win from Copponi, with Gillespie third. It was Wiebes 21st win of the season. Marine Lenehan finished 40th in the bunch on the same time. Gillespie ended the day third overall, seven seconds down; Lenehan was 41st at 13 seconds.Stage 2, 129.4km from Changxing to Chongming, was busier. Attacks came steadily through the last 50 kilometres and a strong group opened a gap inside the final 30, but it was back with 15 kilometres to go. Wiebes was boxed in as the sprint opened and had to work her way clear, and when she did Gillespie was alongside her. The two went side by side to the line, Wiebes just holding her off, with Maggie Coles-Lyster third. Gillespie moved up to second overall, 11 seconds down. Lenehan was 44th on the stage, in the bunch, and 45th overall at 26 seconds.Stage 3, a final 108.6km circuit on Sunday, ended the same way: Wiebes first, Gillespie second, with Tang Xin of the Chinese national team third.

UCI Gravel World Championships Day OneSaturday 10 October Nannup, Western AustraliaElite women and age-group world titlesElite men and the mens 1949 age groups still to raceDes Woods came within two and a half minutes of a world medal on the opening day of the UCI Gravel World Championships in Nannup, finishing fourth in the mens 6064 race, while Marianne Vos won the elite womens title.Woods finished 5:16 behind Australias Tim Jamieson, who took the rainbow jersey on the same time as his compatriot Richard Walsh. Michael Buser of Switzerland took bronze at 2:32 ahead of the Irishman. Michael Jordan was 14th in the same race from 60 finishers.Richard McCauley was seventh of 59 in the mens 5559, and Maria Ludden ninth of 16 in the womens 4044.In the elite womens race Gabrielle Fox finished 29th and Nicole Schafer 34th, 36:13 and 39:04 behind the winner, from 46 finishers.That was bloody hard! said Fox, who survived two small spills on the way round. The race was not too technical gravel in Europe and Ireland is more difficult. The pace the elite climb at is hard! I need to find a few extra watts per kilo for next year.With 3,200 metres of climbing in her legs, she thanked everyone at home for their support, and Simon Ryan and Sinead, who between them covered team manager, mechanic, first aid and soigneur. I hope I did the Irish jersey proud.Vos took her second gravel world title, four years after winning the first one in 2022, finishing alone in 4:30:04. Rosa Klser was second at 27 seconds, with Larissa Hartog third at 2:15 after outsprinting Nele Laing for the last podium place.Ireland has two more riders still to race: Nicholas Roche in the mens 4044, and Alexis Roche in the mens 1934.IRLIrish Results Day OnePosition in category gap to the winner4Des WOODSMen 6064 4th of 60+5:167Richard McCAULEYMen 5559 7th of 59+13:529Maria LUDDENWomen 4044 9th of 16+32:1014Michael JORDANMen 6064 14th of 60+23:5329Gabrielle FOXElite Women 29th of 46+36:1334Nicole SCHAFERElite Women 34th of 46+39:04Elite WomenWEResult Elite WomenSat 10 October 2026 Nannup, Western Australia 46 finishers, 4 DNF1Marianne VOS (4) 4:30:042Rosa KLSER (13) +273Larissa HARTOG (5) +2:154Nele LAING (8)+2:155Erica MAGNALDI (18)+4:176Sofia GOMEZ VILLAFANE (37)+5:157Irina LUETZELSCHWAB (19)+5:288Tiffany CROMWELL (11)+7:159Elisa SERN (7)+7:1510Haley SMITH (35)+8:5511Carolin SCHIFF (10)+9:0212Nicole FRAIN (3)+9:2213Wendy OOSTERWOUD (1)+9:3314Maria LAURIE (29)+11:2815Joyce VANDERBEKEN (62)+13:4916Janni SPANGSBERG (61)+17:3317Sophie WRIGHT (6)+20:4918Kaitlyn RAUWERDA (50)+20:4919Elizabeth HERMOLLE (15)+20:5120Jade TREFFEISEN (14)+23:4621Flora JOHNSON (44)+27:0622Madeleine NUTT (24)+27:4723Theresa RINDLER-BACHL (25)+31:1424Francesca SEAL (40)+33:4325Hanna JOHANSSON (33)+35:5226Holly HENRY (47)+35:5427Ella BLOOR (42)+36:1328Karoline Risager SCHMIDT (51)+36:1329Gabrielle FOX (52)+36:1330Victoria Rose Channing BARRY (49)+37:3031Peta MULLENS (59)+37:5332Sophie BYRNE (30)+38:3133Holly HARRIS (36)+38:4334Nicole SCHAFER (57)+39:0435Anet BARRERA ESPARZA (34)+39:3136Dylan BAKER (23)+40:1637Hayley SIMMONDS (21)+40:5938Sarah DIEKMEYER (26)+42:3439Laetitia BILODEAU (43)+44:3540Shuwei HSU (38)+45:5441Fiona MORRIS (60)+48:4742Kate BONNER (55)+77:4343Yuki KATAOKA (41)+85:2344Andrea LOZA FIOL (48)+99:0245Mutsumi HARA (58)+107:5546Chiharu UKAI (45)+120:19Geerike SCHREURS (16)DNFshleigh MOOLMAN-PASIO (22)DNFSharlotte LUCAS (32)DNFPamela MARTINO (56)DNFResults: UCI Gravel World Championships official results (Idle Timing).

A person a male with no age or age range given by Garda was killed in a collision involving a van driver in his 30s last night in Co Clare.A spokesperson at the Garda Press Office said: Garda are appealing for witnesses following a fatal two-vehicle road traffic collision on the N67 at Baunmore, Kilrush, Co. Clare, that occurred on Friday 9th October 2026 at approximately 8:00pm. The collision involved a van and a bicycle.The male cyclist was pronounced deceased at the scene. His body has since been conveyed to the mortuary at University Hospital Limerick, where a postmortem examination will take place in due course, the spokesperson said.The spokesperson said that the coroner has been notified, while the driver of the van, a man aged in his 30s, was uninjured. The spokesperson added: Anyone who may have been travelling in the area of Baunmore, Kilrush, Co. Clare, on Friday 9th October 2026 between 7:15pm and 8:15pm, and who may have camera footage, including dashcam or mobile phone recordings are asked to make this footage available to investigating garda.Anyone with information or footage popis asked to contact Kilrush Garda Station on (065) 908 0550, or the Garda confidential line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.Before 9am this morning Garda said that the road remains closed with local diversions in place.

One Senator called for bikes to be taken off people who did not have high-vis or helmets, and it prompted Fianna Fils leader in the Seanad to call for mandatory high-vis and helmets for cyclists.Senator Paraic Brady, who is Fine Gaels Seanad spokesperson on agriculture and food, said: Going home yesterday evening through our capital, it was mind-boggling to see how many people were on bikes, but also how many were on bikes without lights, dressed in black with no hi-vis, etc.He said: I encountered at least three people who could have been in an accident with me. They were cycling on the wrong side of the road, facing traffic, and with no hi-vis or lights on them.He was speaking on Thursday, October 1st during the Order of Business session in the Seanad.It is no great wonder that so many people are knocked off bikes when this is going on in the capital. There has to be some law whereby if you go out in the pitch of night, you must have a light or a hi-vis vest. If people are found without them, the bikes should at least be lifted off people them and some fine issued, added Senator Brady.The law already requires bicycles to have a front and rear light on during lighting-up time, which starts half an hour after sunset and ends half an hour before sunrise. Only around 200-300 fines are issued a year for the offence of not having lights on in those hours.In summing up members contributions during the order of business, Senator Fiona OLoughlin, Fianna Fils leader in the Seanad and a member of the administrative panel, called for cyclists to be required by law to wear high-vis clothing and helmets.Senator OLoughlin said: Senator [Brady] also spoke about the cyclists who traverse the roads without lights, high-vis clothing and helmets. I think that sometimes at the cusp of autumn and going into dark nights that some cyclists forget that it will get dark quickly.I echo the Senators call for it to be mandatory for cyclists to have these items. I believe that cyclists should be stopped, if they can be, if they do not have safety equipment and gear because it will keep them safe and keep everyone else safe, said she added.

Il Lombardia 2026 120th EditionSaturday 10 October Bergamo Como 239kmThe last Monument of the season 175 riders, 25 teams, nine categorised summitsBen Healy is the only Irish rider enteredRouteIrish InterestThe ContendersEntry ListThe seasons last Monument runs from Bergamo to Como on Saturday, 239 kilometres across the Lombard Prealps with nine summits and a finishing circuit that climbs twice in the last 27 kilometres. Ben Healy is the one Irish name among the 175 entered.The 120th Lombardia takes the Bergamo start and the Como finish, the direction the race has used in alternate years, and stacks the hard climbing into the two ends. The first 90 kilometres contain four summits in quick succession; the last 27 contain three.Between them is a long middle that is far from flat. Colle Brianza comes at 138km by its Giovenzana side 3.6km at 9.2% with a maximum of 16%, the steepest pitch on the whole route and the Madonna del Ghisallo, the races signature climb, tops out at 753 metres with 60 kilometres still to ride. The Ghisallo is 8.6km at 6.2% from the Bellagio turn, but the number flatters it: the first 2.2km average 9.3% and the last 1.8km 8.6%, with a flat kilometre in the middle doing the averaging.From the Ghisallo the race drops fast to Maglio and runs downhill to Como, where it picks up a 22km finishing loop. The riders cross the line at 217km, take San Fermo della Battaglia, come back through Como, and roughly a kilometre later start Civiglio 4.2km at 9.7%, maximum 14%, with a marked narrowing of the road at the top. Then back down into Como and up San Fermo for the second time, 2.7km at 7.2%, summiting with 5km left.The last 10km begin on the wide avenues inside Como and turn up at the railway underpass. San Fermo is around 7% with a 10% maximum on a narrow, rough-surfaced road with several hairpins. The descent is wide and well paved through two lit tunnels and two large roundabouts, ending at the flamme rouge. The final left-hand bend comes at 600 metres and the finishing straight is seven metres wide.The Nine SummitsGPMClimbs Bergamo to Como239.0km start 255m, finish 201m1Bocche del Gavarno 413mColle dei Pasta climb first test of the daykm 14.22Selvino 947m10.1km at 5.9%, max 9% from Nembro, stepped hairpinskm 31.93Colle di Berbenno 697msp.17km 65.74Valpiana 989m10.1km at 6.2%, max 10% high point of the racekm 85.55Colle Brianza 670mGiovenzana side 3.6km at 9.2%, max 16%km 138.16Madonna del Ghisallo 753m8.6km at 6.2%, max 14% from the Bellagio turnkm 178.47San Fermo della Battaglia 397mFirst ascent 2.7km at 7.2%, max 10%km 211.98Civiglio 613m4.2km at 9.7%, max 14% road narrows at the summitkm 222.39San Fermo della Battaglia 397mSecond ascent summit 5.2km from the linekm 233.8TimingsLocal time (CEST) Irish time is one hour behindSign-onBergamo, Piazza Giacomo Matteotti09:1510:45Ceremonial start2.8km neutralised transfer10:55Kilometre zeross.42 10:00 Irish time11:00FinishComo, Lungo Lario Trento 15:4016:20 Irish time16:4017:20Irish InterestBen Healy is the only Irish rider on the entry list, riding bib 63 for EF Education-EasyPost alongside Richard Carapaz, Neilson Powless and Lukas Nerurkar.Lombardia is the sort of race Healy was built for. It is long, it is relentlessly up and down, and it rewards a rider willing to go early and alone rather than wait for a sprint that never comes. The Giovenzana wall at 138km and Civiglio inside the last 20 are both the kind of short, vicious pitch where he has made races before.IRLIrish StarterOne rider from 17563Ben HEALYEF Education-EasyPostThe ContendersFive days after taking the European title in enur, Remco Evenepoel lines up in Bergamo in the stars jersey with bib 151.

Comment & Analysis: While road deaths and injury collisions involving motorists have spiked this year, there has been a classic moral panic against e-scooters and the winner is not road safety but the Government, which has been allowed to pretend that it is acting on road safety. Im in a better position to say this than most, as Im not exactly a fan of e-scooters. But I still think the undue attention they have received, at a time when road deaths were increasing, shows it was more political pantomime than real road safety action. On face value, as just a road safety measure, its not logical and doesnt make sense. The effectiveness of e-scooter users not wearing bicycle-like helmets and high-vis is questionable, especially when most e-scooters can travel way beyond the speed bicycle helmets are designed for, and the main problem with e-scooters in the first place was the lack of enforcement of widespread use of illegal devices. So, again, that doesnt make sense. But not only have fines for not wearing personal protective equipment been set at 100, the fines for all e-scooter offences have also been increased from 80 to 100.If we care about road safety overall, how does acting on this in isolation make any sense when far more serious offences for motorists have lingered at 60 or 80 (plus penalty points) for years or decades? Dont tell me the points make up for it as if the fines have not decreased in value since they were first introduced; the points were also always there. Again, it does not make any sense. The following are examples of motoring offences that have less than 100 fines:Driving a vehicle on a motorway against the flow of traffic 80 + 2 pointsFailure to obey traffic lights 80 + 3 pointsDriving on a footpath or cycle track 60 + 1 pointFailure to obey traffic rules at railway level crossing 80 + 2 pointsUsing a vehicle with defective or worn tyres 80 + 2 pointsProceeding beyond no entry to vehicles sign 60 + 1 pointParking a vehicle in a dangerous position 80 + 3 pointsFailure to drive on the left-hand side of the road 60 + 2 pointsDangerous overtaking 80 + 3 pointsFailure to yield right of way at a yield sign/yield line 80 + 3 pointsIllegal entry onto a one-way street 60 + 1 pointThe fines for a range of motoring offences have been increased in recent years including speeding and holding a phone but why were they not all increased given inflation alone? So, yeah, if the Governments position is that fines are a deterrent, all of this still doesnt make sense. Even with the data being used to act on e-scooters its based on childrens hospital data, and the number of children in ICU beds due to scooter collisions. Its shocking. But the action of increasing the ban on under 16s to under 18s does not make any sense, as childrens hospitals are for under 16-year-olds (who were already banned from using e-scooters), and the main problem was parents buying them and then a lack of enforcement. I previously ran the headline: Please make it make sense: A 16-year-old will be able to drive a tractor or a 90km/h+ light motorcycle, but not a scooter locked to 20km/h. In response to this, some people said, but they are tested. The problem with this is that 16-year-olds are legally allowed to drive farm vehicles on the road when they have just passed the theory test for a general provisional learner permit. Thats not much of a test to be able to drive something as powerful as a tractor anywhere. Again, you guessed it, it does not make any sense. Then yesterday we had the Irish Independent reporting that the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has said that theres not enough data to justify the introduction of NCT-type tests for tractors and other agricultural vehicles. The newspaper reports this despite RSA data showing that only 20% of tractors pass roadside inspections. Sense has left the building a long time ago.This is the Government which scrapped default (not blanket) 30km/h speed limits in urban areas the very least they could have done is mandated 30km/h at the front of every school, but they did not even do that, and many councils are going a lot of effort to put on a show by putting in tiny town centre 30km/h zones and putting 30km/h limits in front of some schools but not others for no reason that makes any sense. To be clear: Main roads were excluded from the plan before it was watered down to a shadow of what was planned.This is also the Government, which is slowly and silently defunding active travel which includes not just cycle lanes but the bulk of the yearly allocation to projects such as raised zebra crossings and safe routes to schools. And within nearly every active travel project, there are traffic calming measures which make streets and roads safer.The only thing that makes sense here is that the Government is not really interested in road safety. Sean Canney, Minister of State at the Department of Transport with responsibility for road safety and also too many other things to be focused on it, has become a bit of a target in this regard I dont think road safety is advanced by having him in that position, but theres also collective cabinet responsibility. The blame can be shared across Government. Populism ahead of saving lives and limbs seems to make sense to them.
