Have never ridden one, but I assume you could easily crash into a person, car, curb, signpost, other scooterers, hit a rock etc..

Simple instructions don't solve anything, and represent a design flaw. If the design doesn't inherently address the problem you want to solve, then text definitely won't.

Well, I'm saying that because people don't even realize they need to treat the road somewhat like a car driver.

Like, literally, they install the app and get on the scooter and do 20km/h on the opposite side then are surprised that there's people and bikes coming right into them.

A simple "stick to your right" would help a lot of them imo.

And it's really hard to crash one ime, but then again I somehow never fell or crashed a bicycle for half my life.

Ya idk that sounds pretty bad tbh. It is arguably a result of poor road design as well, but some people will just do some bizarre stuff.
