    Must be the day for it it something because i saw a guy with a girl who couldn't have been more than 9 years old as a pillion passenger on his motorbike this afternoon, this was in traffic that was moving in the 80-100kph range. Plus she was only wearing shorts which is just retarded for anyone on a motorbike.

    My friend was driving at the time and i was a passenger and we both did a double-take as we drove past them. I rang the local police station straight away and they said they'd look into it.

    Seriously though, i'm not easily shocked but i had trouble believing what i was seeing. If that was his daughter she should just have been taken off him immediately because he is obviously too stupid to raise a child.

    So they weren't breaking any law at all but you think his child should be put into protective custody?
    Fair enough, shorts leave your legs completely unprotected and it is a bad attitude to wear them, or allow a pillion to wear them, but protective trousers are not a legal requirement.
    You overreacted and rang the gardai to waste there time about a road user who was doing nothing wrong.

    It has to be negligence or child endangerment or something.

    Have you every seen someone who has come off a motorbike at even a modest speed when they weren't wearing proper protective gear?
