Better safety for the driver of the car, not the poor bastard on a scooter that gets mowed down ;)

- mschuster91 9y agoIf you're on a scooter you get mowed down regardless if the colliding party is a scooter, a car or a truck. And even if the colliding party is a scooter, there's still all the traffic behind it. So it doesn't matter. That is a job for the government to actually hire and train cops to enforce traffic rules (red lights, DUI, right-of-way)...
- gorkonsine 9y agoCars are generally faster than scooters. If everyone else is driving a scooter too, you're much less likely to get hurt in a crash, or to have a crash, because the energies are much lower and the speeds are much lower (low speeds make it easier to avoid crashes). Also, momentum is a real thing. Getting hit by a scooter at 10mph isn't nearly as bad as getting hit by a truck at 10mph.
