Scooters go where people walk... trucks usually don't
Whew! It’s a good thing trucks never go through cross walks or across curb cuts to get into parking lots and drive throughs.
The only reason people ride scooters on the sidewalks is because our infrastructure is severely lacking and you get stuck “sharing” a lane with a 6000+lb truck.
You aren’t wrong and neither are they.
Stop that! You get outta here with that rational approach
I mean it's /fuckcars on Lemmy. There are more extremist places you can find on the interweb, but not many.
across curb cuts to get into parking lots and drive throughs.
Generally not faster than scooter speed anyway though.
And they don't like to share. I had to flip off a driver for almost running me over today
Damn. Wish there was a way to have separate lanes or something
Still, bike lanes have a speed limit of 25 km/h where I live
but you don't even need to be particularly swole to reach 30 km/h on a bicycle, how does that work then? Do they arrest people without speedometers on their bikes?
Generally that rule is not checked nor enforced.
okay so it's just not actually a thing in practice then, not sure why bring it up in that case?
They should, yes.
In Belgium those require a drivers license, and your license can be revoked.
Not in my city. It is illegal for motorized vehicles of any kind to travel on sidewalks.
It's illegal here as well, they just do it anyways
Reminds me of this guy: https://youtu.be/bzE-IMaegzQ
People are forbidden from going where the trucks go... or that seems to be the popularly agreed upon arrangement.
Rly?
Key word being "usually"
Every time you drive from home or to home is unusual?
I think here they're talking usually in the sense of space, the vast majority of your time is spent on roads.
