Teens get a lot of supervision and training before being allowed to drive. They take classes.
It's not quite a fair comparison. Though maybe you could argue that a driver's license is enough to let a teen use a scooter.
- CydeWeys 8y agoNo license is required to ride a bicycle, and I'd wager that a bicycle is more dangerous than a scooter, since it weighs more and goes faster. I think bicycles just get grandfathered in. Not that I want licensing for bicycles or scooters, mind you! I bike to work every day, and it's indisputable that much smaller vehicles going much slower are way, way safer than cars and trucks. 37K people were killed in vehicle crashes in 2016, the most recent year for which I can find data.
- throwawaycanada 8y agoWhere I live you need a four day $650 course that you need to book months in advance to ride any scooter at all. You also need to pay for annual registration and get insurance. A few provinces over, they are talking about asking for a bicycle license in some newspapers. It's way out of hand here.
