## Resource

A teen in Ballinasloe, Ireland, got caught speeding on an e-scooter in Dunlo Street, leading to a stop by police and eventual impoundment of the vehicle. Since he’s a juvenile, he’s being diverted into a youth program instead of facing charges. But here’s the real concern: e-scooter accidents are causing over a quarter of pediatric brain injury cases at one hospital — a shocking number that underscores the danger. Police are reminding riders: you must be 16, obey speed limits, ride only where allowed, and never carry passengers or use phones while riding. Parents, stay vigilant — safety isn’t optional when it comes to these scooters.
