I’ve seen two teenagers on them while smoking joints numerous times. They go through red lights , they don’t obey traffic laws. 90% of the time they aren’t pulled over so it just continues to get worse and worse. It’s insane. When I was a teen I got pulled over FOR RIDING DOWN A ONE WAY STREET THE WRONG WAY ON A BICYCLE. Sick of it. Right or wrong, I don’t care because I have a deep hatred for the way most of these scooters and e-bikes are abusing traffic laws here with little to no consequence.so, law making changes this. in the registration ownership end of things.is it fair to say these scooters are really an amplfied version of bicycling? dont bike riders do much of the same?
TY @nicknyr15 for seeing the crap they pull.
No bikes aren't even doing the same thing. Not even close. Who rides bikes anymore, lol!?!0 -

I agree, something needs to be done about it, but giving police carte blanche to run them off the road isn't it.0 -

i love how these people are so vocal about watching out for bikers and then the bikers are the ones driving super reckless. i am all for sharing the road, but extend to me the same courtesy as i extend to you and your bike."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

I've given up on expecting scooter drivers to follow the law, but bicyclists ignoring rules of the road infuriate me as well. Dumb kids are dumb kids*, but experienced bicyclists should know better.
*Not that every asshole acting reckless on a scooter is a kid, but the majority of what I see around me is mostly 20 somethings or younger.0 -

i had a bicyclist almost hit my dog on a park train one time. it was a paved trail around a lake and the cyclists are supposed to pass on the left an announce their presence like "on your left" or whichever side they are passing on. dude did not announce himself and almost took me and my dog out. about gave my dog ptsd because he got anxious on that trail after that day."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

I ride my road bike and hide my spandex. I just can't do it. I do observe the rules of the road. If I don't I'll be dead.0 -

DOJ report highlights all sorts of Minneapolis Police Department abuses. Minneapolis PD is broken and I highly doubt it is unique.
