What misguided nonsense. The solution to cars crashing into scooters and bikes (no, cyclists aren't magically protected like she seems to think) isn't to ban them - it's to build proper bike lanes!

And why do people think scooters are street litter when cars aren't? Cars are left everywhere.

This is just classic luddism. "Roads were only for cars when I was young and that shall not change!"

Strongly agree.

>This is just classic luddism.

Strongly disagree. To me, the common "luddite" accusation often seems like a disconnected, elitist framing of issues that have important pragmatic angles.
