I am not very familiar with these scooters but bicycles have always been delegated to the road where they make me very nervous. So what’s the difference? How many people died in automobiles the same time period in same area. If it’s more than two should they be outlawed? I’m sure there’s something about this I don’t understand since I’m not familiar with them.
