Fatal e-scooter accident

[SexB]

I see those assholes blazing down the sidewalk all the time.

The cops need to start cracking down on them. Cyclists riding on the sidewalk are bad enough and I say that as a cyclist!

When are the politicians going to grow a pair and outright ban e-scooters. If someone is caught riding one, it shall be confiscated. E-bikes shall be treated same as motorcycles. You should require a license and insurance.

The big problem is the riders of these things don't follow the rules of the road much like a lot of regular bicycle riders. The other problem is that most politicians are morons and the sheeple continue to vote the same people in over and over again.

I stopped at an intersection. It was clear so I inched up and accelerated into the turn. 2 boys came up behind me on the driver side and turned hard right in front of me to get on the sidewalk. I slammed on the brakes and they started to flip me off. F this F you. I rolled down the window and yelled it right back. They stood there trembling and one started to cry. I watched as all their bravado drained from their faces.

I think there is a balance that can be found. Within an urban environment they do make sense, but we are short in infrastructure to accommodate things.

If you going to have 400' foot condos, no parking spots, and gridlock, this type of thing i going to be developed. In places like China, and other crowded cities, they are common.

Especially with the price of cars these days.

This e-scooter thing was not thought out and they keep adding more and more on the street.

I almost ran over a guy last week. I'm on a residential street and this guy pops out of an alley way onto the street with no lights on at 11pm. We were both lucky I had enough distance between us.

And I have an issue with grown men out here riding around on scooters too. At a certain age it looks pathetic, just please stop.

Yes its clear you have an issue lol

If it was based on fatalities then they should ban cars first. How many die in cars vs scooters and ebikes? Where it does offend me is when I see 12 year old kids learning how to ride 60 KPH scooters with no helmet or adult supervision. Above 12-15 kph they are not toys.
