I need some advice here as I know little or nothing about these things. The oldest did the leaving and got a course in St Pats Drumcondra. Delighted with all that but the public transport from Portmarnock to there is rubbish. Buses taking at least an hour and seems to be into town and back out. It’s 14kms so I’m thinking about suggesting a scooter. The Mrs will loose the plot but let’s see.

So she’s doing the cage theory test on Monday, not sure if I can tick the A1 box or if she’ll need to do another one to get that on the provisional. She’s 18 but tiny, more muscle on a sparrow so nothing too heavy.

Anyway – whats your 2c. Model suggestions and any ideas of insurance costs? Is security as much an issue on scooters as bikes? Am I mad? Cycling out of Portmarnock is too dangerous as far as I’m concerned. They’re only country lanes, no lights, no shoulders / room and heavy traffic. I figured at least on a 125 scooter she would hold her own on those roads with traffic and then be able to nip across to the college??

Thanks
