My Mum and Dad (moreso Mum) hates the idea and I'll admit it's pretty fucking dangerous but I figure if I am going to own a vehicle it might as well be something cheap.
In Ireland, you have to initially pass basic training (like you would if you had to qualify to drive a lorry or a tractor).  I tried doing it in 2020 during COVID but the guy training me was a cunt, and since then I just haven't bothered pursuing it.  Probably when I'm finished uni, I'll consider it.
