Hide AdA spokesperson said: “The scooter will now be sent for destruction as it is clearly a death trap with the fuel tank secured in place with shoe laces and tie wraps.
“The rider will also be dealt with for the possession of cannabis which is a Class B drug, contrary to popular belief.”
“No amount is legal to possess and it is an offence to have it on you or smoke it either in public or private – this includes your own address.”
