Fatal e-scooter accident

Back then people had more respect of property and other people courtesy that’s all history. Now I own the sidewalks I own the roads and you owe me a job! Nowadays people have no respect nothing. Give you an example Brampton where I’m from weeds 6 feet high parking in front of the fire hydrant garbage left out well past pickup city does nothing owners do nothing. If my garbage blows away I go out and pick it up I’ve seen another person do it as well, but we won’t go into ethnic backgrounds. I’ve gotten to the point where when my neighbours garbage goes on my property I just pick it up and throw it over the fence in their pool problem solved. Oh yes this weakens a long holiday, and you’re right there is garbage in the pool.

I think its almost impossible to enforce.

If cops start rounding up everyone who rides an e-scooter or e-bike, then nobody will get their food delivery anymore
They need to mandate insurance for them at the very least.
 
What I find so stupid is that these e-scooters are not allowed on sidewalks.

In Fort Lauderdale, Florida you're allowed to drive an e-scooter on the sidewalk because it's much safer
I totally disagree with you. These guys fly by you on the sidewalks zig zagging along the way and you don't even hear them until it's too late.

I'd love to see then lawmakers make it mandatory for them to get a license, proper training and have insurance....just like any automobile or motorcycle driver. Also create a minimum age limit too.
 
I got a ticket for turning right at the wrong time (this morning). no right turns between 7-9am and I got a $110/ticket and 2 demerits for this, and it was at 8:52am and it was completely unintentional, wasn't aware, but it's things like this that piss me off. Why aren't they targeting scooters and shitty cyclists, but I got dinged, Yes I was in the wrong, but really? the guy even told me to contest it, he was shocked to run my license and see that I have never had an infraction. but you have scooters running lights, on the sidewalks, wrong way. whatever. I pay a lot in taxes already and he was a nice guy just doing his job. but as a High tax paying citizen doing things mostly by the book, why the fuck aren't they doing something about the real bad guys. Last week i went to fairly high end restaurant and there are 3 "things" shooting up in the doorway right next to the place i was going, literally with needles in their arms and one was smoking a crack pipe, cops parked 5 feet away and doing nothing. the world is messed up
 
Personally, I'd LOVE it if the kids on my rural street had e-bikes, instead of the motocross , side by sides, and 4 x 4's that rip up and down my street 8 hrs a day ffs. I had to call the cops, as its a public road, ad my township doesn't allow shared use, and they all ALL under age with no licence and no insurance. They trespass on private property as well as land trust properties local to me..

I am so glad we don’t have neighbors like you in my rural area. In my area, none of us care we all watch out for each other. We don’t go ratting people out. It’s bad enough that the kids are living in the rural areas with not much to do, and to have people like you going out of their way to take the little they have to do away from them. Have you ever thought about moving to a subdivision? You live in the country what do you expect? If you want peace and quiet, go further north.
Just remember, boredom leads to drugs and drugs lead to crap going missing from your shed in the middle of the night, so pick your battles lol

Until one of them gets hit. It's a very busy road. And thanks for not being judgemental. Appreciated.
