More blaming the victim and dangerous by design

 (This happened near my school) I see a lot of these scooters in the bike lanes, after seeing one struggling to navigate a sweeping turn on the sidewalk I can see why, these are made to go straight or make tight turns gradual turns and the turns and narrow sidewalk widths to cross driveways could be very challenging to navigate. And once in the bike lane I doubt they appreciate the vehicular treatment of bike lanes disappearing before intersections, not to mention no access to pedestrian crossing buttons.
