    There are some serious gaps in the article around what the riders were colliding with. The only detailed account was with a car, in which (surprise surprise) the scooter rider was the one penalised.

    These scooters are new, but that doesn’t make them a bad idea. I see parents using them to drop off their kids at school every day for example. Every person you see on a scooter is someone who would otherwise be in front of you in a car.

    If we’re really concerned about the health and safety of kids riding these things, we should:

    • reduce/remove car traffic
    • patch potholes
