Ban these fucking things or at least ban anyone under 25 from using them
These little assholes zoom around at light speed colliding into grandmas
Not sure what it is about electric scooters but people on them are way more reckless and less mindful than cyclists
Cars aren't typically swerving around pedestrians on the sidewalk
Yeah but cars kill way more pedestrians every year than bikes or scooters ever will
What I'm saying is that cars need to be speed limited too. Every day, as a pedestrian, I have to contend with aggressive or just plain distracted drivers on my commute. If a car crashes into me, I'll fucking die, but if a scooter crashes into me (this has never happened, ever) we're on even ground.
Cars pose way more of a threat to pedestrian safety than bikes or scooters ever will. The focus on speed limiting motorized micromobility devices misses the elephant in the room that is cars.
Cars shouldn’t be allowed to go over 15mph in cities and ideally should be left at the edge of town
I mean 25 would be fine if there was actual physical barriers between cars and pedestrians/cyclists. It's this low cost zero safety american bullshit that screws everyone.
