Two issues with that equivalence: (1) you can't compare a 15kg bike going 20kph with a 2000kg SUV going 70kph, and (2) the city is ENTIRELY designed for cars, with everything else as an afterthought (e.g. where pedestrians can walk is entirely determined around cars and their throughways). Yes, scooters shouldn't mix with pedestrians and they also shouldn't mix with cars. We'll where the fuck should they go? Governments seem permanently unwilling to sacrifice even a single lane of car traffic for a proper bike path / scooter path.
