Also, They Really Aren't That Much Faster Than, You Know, Walking

Another day, another article about how so many people are experiencing electric scooter injuries on those rental scooters in the city, and how the cities and scooter companies are totally unprepared for this. Some companies are agreeing to do safety lessons before renting the scooters, but you know people will ignore them like they ignore safety demonstrations on planes. And they'll keep zipping along sidewalks causing danger to pedestrians, and into and out of traffic causing danger to themselves and drivers, and not bother to wear helmets, and somehow we'll all pay the price of this in lawsuits and settlements and increased insurance premiums. Would have been nice to see this considered BEFORE the scooters got dumped on the sidewalks of big cities everywhere. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
