    I saw a couple of cops stop a guy on a moped who was running a red light yesterday and I wanted to applaud. Mopeds and electric bikes (especially if they’re driven by food delivery people) run lights, go the wrong way on one-way streets, go on the sidewalk… And they’re not just doing this on empty streets. They usually stay out of the way of cars (being hit by a car hurts, I suppose) but they’re happy to cut off pedestrians. Heh, I think I haven’t seen them driving indoors yet but it’s only a matter of time since they’re almost never stopped.

      I’ve had a fair few near misses with electric scooters both walking and driving. The main problem is kids who sadly have no road sense and don’t appreciate the dangers.
