There is also a lot of hate for scooters right now, at least in the Bay Area, I was riding one yesterday and made a right turn signal, moved a lane over and promptly got honked at by the car I merged in front of, there was a good 20 feet still between us and traffic was going ~20. Granted a ton of scooter riders are 14 years old and ride like total idiots so I understand the frustration, but they are definitely not given the same respect cyclists are.

  In California, cyclists (which technically includes e-scooters) have the legal right to use the full road - I believe this is true in many US states. There also aren’t bike lanes on most CA streets, even in San Francisco.
