That isn't really fair.

You are comparing something that has laws and rules, a dedicated place to 'drive' and have billions of miles driven.

Right now in most places these scooters follow whatever laws they want (if faster in middle of street, it is there, if faster on sidewalk, it is there). People aren't accountable (no driver license, hard to track) and idiots.

Actually, in California at least you -do- need a drivers license to operate the scooters.

(Which was annoying for me as I don’t have one because I always lived in cyclable cities in Europe)

I just wish people who are anti-scooter would interrogate their own opposition and understand its true genesis. It's not road safety. Road injuries are almost exclusively due, in various ways, to cars. So what is it, really, that's bothering them?
