Sorry, Carol,
I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinions. The following are mine and I’m sticking to them!
As far as I know, cars just don’t have the same off road getaway options as scooters. Car drivers are less inclined to pass on the wrong side or weave in and out of traffic, sometimes startling the unsuspecting driver into near accidents or worse. Car drivers don’t usually get their jollies popping wheelies annd showing off. And car drivers are generally a little less foolish than the moped daredevils showing off when they do. Or perhaps l just missed it?
They will NEVER abolish the use of scooters and for the benefit of those who rely on them for relatively inexpensive transportation, I get it. But if they were to do so, I’m thinking the vehicular fatalities across the island would drop considerably.
Respectfully,
pat
