It may not be as deadly but it does still produce minor and major injuries that send the riders and people they run into to the ER.

Please stop whitewashing incidents and the behavior of the scooterists.

Just because you've banned scooters doesn't mean the morons operating them went away, or stopped traveling.

And I'd much rather deal with a moron on a scooter than a moron in a car. I'd daresay that statistics on both deaths and injuries caused by alternative modes of transportation are with me on this.

I mean, I get it. Scooters are a little scary and annoying and take up space. People don't like them.

All these same criticisms apply for cars, but dialed up to 11.
