Officers from Bellbowrie Police Beat weren’t exactly stoked when they came across a modified scooter while they were conducting patrols around Kenmore Hills recently.
Do not try this at home or anywhere – it’s very dangerous and looks terrible
On the morning of Thursday, June 18, Senior Constable Chris Tetley was astounded to observe a man on a scooter towing half a bicycle on the roadway.
When questioned, the rider allegedly stated that he intended on towing his push bike to nearby shops to have it repaired. The man allegedly admitted that he knew it wasn’t a safe or a good idea.
The man was issued with a traffic infringement notice of $133 for the offence and had to re-tyre his modified scooter.
It is not unusual for us to come across illegally modified vehicles, but it’s safe to say that a vehicle held together with zip ties is not only dangerous but is terrible
