Not necessarily. You have to factor in that cars generate danger, so if some drivers scoot instead, they're generating less danger (but of course they're also more vulnerable themselves).
- lm28469 8y agoThat's a very simplistic view. In Paris for example cars come from outside the city, from people who live too far / don't have access to public transportation / have kids / need cars for their job / or are just too lazy to do something else. These people can't/won't use scooters. I'd agree with you if 1 scooter = 1 less car, that would be awesome. But it's pretty obvious when you visit Paris that it's not the case though, scooters are mainly used teenagers and tourists, who wouldn't use car in the first place.
