Yet I still see a great deal of very irresponsible driving of those scooters. I expect there to be a lot of local pushback as regulators catch up.

It’s always too bad that regulations catch up instead of manners. Things could be so much easier...
To be fair though, there are lots of irresponsible pedestrians. People buried in their phones paying attention to nothing. Stepping into the road, ignoring crossing signals, taking up an entire sidewalk while walking in a group of three. People want to regulate the hell out of scooters, yet some lady with a dog on a long leash can pretty much do whatever she or or dog wants. If San Francisco denizens care so much about sidewalk etiquette, then I suggest prohibiting people from camping and shooting up and shitting on those sidewalks. That’s a bigger danger than anything I’ve faced as a pediatrian sharing space with Lime or Bird.
Someone is going to be seriously injured first.
