Given that before self-same idiots would be driving two ton death boxes, this seems like a pretty good trade off to me.

- bongobongo 7y agoI've never seen somebody drive a car on the sidewalk. I see scooteridiots going 15+ MPH on the sidewalk all the time.
- organsnyder 7y agoWe don't have them in my city (thankfully), but in the cities I've visited most of the people using them were teenage joyriders who would otherwise be walking.

- DisruptiveDave 7y agoTo purport that these people drive cars and ride scooters in the same manner is unfair. Same with bicyclists - I witness dozens of them running stop signs and red lights every single day. Can't imagine they do the same in cars.
- Dirrk 7y agoYou don't need a license to ride scooters. Yesterday I saw a gaggle of preteens riding a squadron of scooters.
- easytiger 7y agoIncorrect. In London they replace people getting trains for the most part. They also make flagrant use of pavements.
- Fins 7y agoSomehow I doubt that where you live, those "two ton death boxes" are often driven on a sidewalk. If scooters keep to the road, they are perfectly fine. When they drive on sidewalks, eventually one of them will be biting my elbow.
