An Irish police officer has been given a two-year road ban and a €500 fine after a judge ruled his attempts to chase two scrambler bikes constituted dangerous driving. The ruling comes as 'Grace's Law,' a crackdown on scrambler bikes, is set to be enforced.

A man in his 20s was seriously injured in a scrambler bike crash, as new regulations known as Grace’s Law, aimed at banning scramblers in public places following the death of Grace Lynch, are expected to be signed this month.
