A quad was seized by members of An Garda Síochána over the weekend – with a reminder issued to all quad-owners in relation to abiding by the rules when on public roads.
The quad in question was “eventually brought to a halt” by Gardaí in Co. Offaly yesterday (Sunday, May 23).
Taking to social media, Gardaí in the Laois-Offaly Division said:
“Quads if used on a public road which include a footpath, (quads and all-terrain vehicles) are subject to all of the regulatory controls that apply to other mechanically propelled vehicles [MPVs].
They must be roadworthy, registered, taxed and comply with standard road regulations, while the driver should possess the relevant driving licence, the Garda statement noted.
