>Your comment sounds a lot like "joggers have no place on my bike path" or "the road is for cars, not bikes" Bikes on roads are required to obey the same signals and markings cars do, as well as staking in their lane (if one exists). Plenty of bike paths have separate lanes for walkers/joggers and bikes...the closing speed of one can be an order of magnitude higher than the other.... >The only reason scooters are an "issue" is because they are new and that newness No, operating a powered vehicle on sidewalks is nowhere near as novel as you think it is, and the courts should have no difficulty addressing the fining/prosecution of those that do so. I don't know why people think "battery-electric scooter/skateboard" requires a paradigm shift in how to define a moving violation. >This "issue" will be solved eventually if scooters do become popular enough to take part in accidents actually harm people with any meaningful regularity. Great. We just need a sufficient number of electric-scooter related deaths and injuries to overcome the natural inertia of the criminal justice system &&|| trial bar. Then someone will fix the problem.
