I've heard a lot of scooter-hate - really reminds me of skateboard hate. The common retort is safety and driving rules. My response is we should be teaching kids to drive (scooters/bicycles/motorcycles/cars) as if the environment were much more chaotic - like a race/motocross track, and like many countries in the world. When I drove in countries where traffic was chaos - I found it was just as I learned to drive on the motocross track on a motorcycle as a kid: key rule try very hard to not hit anyone and try very hard to not be hit. Don't get bent out of shape - enjoy the ride. I'm not suggesting that we change our driving regulations to be more chaotic - but a different approach to training and changing our attitude while moving through traffic might help.
