A 16-year-old girl named Grace Lynch lost her life at the end of January when a scrambler hit her in Fingeless County Dublin. Her family pushed hard for change, and now Grace's law kicks in this Friday, banning scramblers and quad bikes from all public spaces in the Republic of Ireland. These off-road bikes were already illegal on public roads since July 2023, but the new rules add clear teeth, limiting them to private. Land only, with the owners written okay, mainly for farm work or licensed sports. Grace's mom, Saban Lynch, calls life a living nightmare since the loss, saying she's still on autopilot, crying every night, and shocked by how many. Friends her laid back, full of life daughter had. Earlier this week, a garter officer got hit with a driving band in court just for chasing scramblers in Dublin, and the Garter Representative Association. It says officers feared discipline or prosecution if they pursue these riders.
