I'm not a down town guy but the rest of my loop are in down town. So those are the guys I go help out. Starting last year these companies started putting electric scooters everywhere. They can get going pretty fast too I've been surprised to be going 30+ mph and watching a scooter next to me keep up.
The people who ride them are total morons. They weave through traffic, they drive along the sidewalk and then hit a crosswalk at an intersection going way too fast, and they are not easy to spot. I've almost hit a few of them and have become extra vigilant clearing sidewalks and crosswalks.
Today I was running some nda for a brother and I see a car turning right on a red light with a building blocking her view of incoming scooters on the sidewalk. And she just plows over one of these scooter people.
I wonder how long these things will last. I can only imagine the number of accidents these things are causing. One of my coworkers told me that these things make you agree to all these safety rules by clicking "I agree" to some terms of service thing when you sign up for the app that starts them but I wonder if that would hold up in court if people started suing these companies.
You guys seen these deathmobiles in your area yet?
