People on electric scooters travel at frightening speeds in Paris, often without helmets. Even without cars it looks extremely dangerous. I am curious to know the injury (quadriplegia?) rate.
I think people seriously underrate the safety benefits of micro cars, and the necessity of car like vehicles for older people.
- mc32 6y agoI once saw a couple of scooters collide (same direction), one of the riders fell and looked like they did somersaults -fortunately they were wearing helmets. Pony is yes even at lower speeds collisions can be dangerous.
- Triv888 6y agoIn florida too, but on any motorcycle the helmet isnt needed... But yeah motorcycles are probably an order of magnitude more dangerous then cars... Specially with cars around.
- convolvatron 6y ago_I_think people seriously underestimate how much better the quality of life for older people is with walkable amenities and public transportation. encouraging most people 80+ to stay behind the wheel to shop and socialize is a pretty bad plan. maybe waymo and uber changes this..
