Sensible policy that driving a scooter on the sidewalk gets you 5x the fine that driving a car on the sidewalk would? Holding the companies responsible for users of rental scooters actions but not users of rental cars is sensible policy?
- spenczar5 4y agoThat kind of whataboutism just convinces me that the fines for driving cars on the sidewalk should be higher, yes.
- jcater 4y agoIs driving of rental cars on sidewalks really that big of a problem there to make that comparison?
- jrm4 4y agoYes. Both of these are sensible because our spaces and regulations are already better set up for cars, and the scooter companies are deliberately introducing technology that they know (or should know) increase unexpected danger. Thus, the costs should fall on them. The details aren't perfect, but the idea is generally good.
- pixl97 4y agoI have a feeling if you as an individual started driving on the sidewalks multiple times receiving multiple fines that the state would quickly remove your privilege to drive and if you continued, would imprison you.
