Things about scooters:
They are fun to ride.
They are slow.er. I can do 62kms/hr. Max. Downhill. I am always doing between 55 and 60 ks.
Car drivers are impatient. And rude. And they frequently make me fear for my life. (If all I can see is your headlights in my mirrors, you're too close.)
I will move over into a bike lane sometimes. I get to choose when, you don't.
If the speed limit is 60 or below, I won't.
If there are two or more lanes, I won't.
If I'm in danger of falling off the bike lane into the mangroves, I won't.
Deal with it.
And if I get pulled over for going too slow on McMillans road, I will not be happy. Do not expect me to be. And registration sticker should be the first thing you check. Just a tip.
i feel your pain.
ReplyDeletei swear, every driver in michigan--other than me--is a complete asshole.
it's a wonder i haven't been killed yet, really.
I think driver assholery is a worldwide phenomenon, and it's magnified when cars are in close proximity to scooters, bikes, or smaller cars.
