>>1294715>>1294714>Ministry of transport is working to legalize the use of kick e-scooters and "hover"boards etc in publicIt is good, since you had pretty retarded laws, which allowed only pedelecs. Now you can ride bike with throttle, and scooter (finally).
Maybe I'd finally get a German-made quality kick scooter...
>i.e. on sidewalks and bike paths. What a fucking mistake. I don't think so.
I believe that kick scooters should be allowed on
- bike lanes (since speeds are pretty similar, and it is pretty narrow, which will allow really fast cyclists to pass you easily)
- sidewalks (but driver MUST reduce speed to 6km/h, or even get off the scooter, if there are pedestrians in front in proximity. Also driver MUST reduce speed to 6km/h on bling corners)
- low traffic roads
As long as e-toy drivers use some common sense (unfortunately, a lot of them don't have it), it won't introduce more problems.
When I was only getting in kick-scooters, I used common sense (just like other ""pioneers""), and I didn't caused any problems (nobody made a notice etc.).
After some time, complete retards got scooters, and I nearly had an accident with one. He was flying 30 km/h on narrow sidewalk with sharp turn, where I'd never go that fast (actually, I'd take other parallel rute).
> and these garbage electric toys are NOT a transport solution and will only worsen the situation. Depends on legislation they will implement. Driving exam for scooters (and bicycles) might be a good solution, honestly.
>I do not want tourists on e-scooters shitting up my sidewalks and bike paths with their erratic behavior. Fuck off.Kick scooters are good on bike lanes. They can drive up to 30 km/h, which is faster that anyone would do on bicycle on average.
Sidewalks... Need rules and fines, honestly.
