Scooters on paths.

Yeh I had one where I was looking at a flower bed and moved back to the middle of the footpath and one skimmed me whilst flying it. He went on seemingly oblivious to what was millimeters away from a serious incident for both of us.

With seriously bad drivers on the roads who never seem to see any consequences from Gardai can't see them enforcing any laws stopping these numpties from dangerous behaviour.

Car don't even have road tax!

Scooters are just for lazy ar$eholes. just walk ffs.

I think it's fair to say they are equally hated by pedestrians, motorists and cyclists, quite an achievement.

We've enough of them in our estate and they're not feral scum kids either, quite a few of them are adults. If they hit a mother with kids they'll get a slap. Get creamed by a bus/glider or a 40 foot lorry it's tough sht. You can't resuscitate a pancake.

I had to grab my six year old as he exited a shop out of the way of a grown man sized idiot on the path going full tilt on one of these scooters.

I think they are cool and as a last mile transport or urban solution I can see the sense but mixed with bikes not pedestrians.

The scooter man apologised but probably because angry daddy face rather than realising he could hurt someone

And the dress code is obviously the darker the better.

Now they should make that illegal...oh wait also already illegal.

If there a garda on the quays it would like shooting fish in a barrel.

If you can't see them, how do you know they are in dark clothes. (if thats what you meant).

Techmucknolgy.

10 min scoot vs 20 min car ride. Lovely on a nice day to wizz to work

Safe roads and pathways is a culture thing… but cars kill more ? Sure, by the very nature of them being multiple times heavier, faster etc..

there should have been legislation that just bans scooters on footpaths, bicycles are banned on paths, unless there is a cycle lane…

Things have changed in Singapore now - you have to register your scooter and do an online theory test to be permitted to use it. Not allowed on footpaths anymore, only cycling paths, of which there is a fairly good network. 

And because this is SG - if found not to have your digital certificate or on the path, fine up to $2k and/or 6 months jail time.

They ARE banned.
