There have been countless times when me or my boyfriend have nearly been rammed by them whilst out and about, many more times than by a bike or a skater etc, in fact I don't think I have even had a near miss with any other moving vehicle, probably because nothing else is allowed to tear through shops and public areas like these scooters do, and they don't half move fast, if they hit you, they are going to do damage. They are allowed into tight spaces which would cause a serious health and saftey issue if ther was to be a fire or evacuation for whatever the reason. Apart from that the people riding them are uninsured, unlicenced and often have very poor eyesight and would not be alowwed to drive a car. I think there should be a practical test simlar to cycle proficiancy and an eye test, and this should be mandatory before you are even allowed to buy a scooter. Before you leave your PC oppinions, just take a moment to see the other side of the coin here.
