9 out of 10 people i see on scooters look like they are just waiting to die. all over the road and in and out of the bike lanes, in peoples blind spots, in terrible lane positions for being seen going thru interesections, doing 50 in a 60 when traffic is doing 70 causing people to weave around them. and i cant even count how many ive seen wearing bicycle helmets. combined with when you ride a motorcycle you at least have to have some knowledge of safe riding habits and pass a safety test. yet anyone from a 16 year old kid with an N to a 75 year old blind senior can, and will, buy a scooter with no clue how to ride it safely.
its funny how many times ive had conversations with people that said "motorcycles are dangerous" and "well its not the rider its usually the traffic that causes the accidents" and "im going to get a scooter, much safer" all in the same conversation. where is the logic in that?
i am by no means saying motorcycles are safer than scooters by any means, but to say that a scooter is any safer than a bike in the city is absolutely rediculous
