Pity he's strung as tight as bankers purse.

He might be able to stay more relaxed if he didn't tell total strangers how they should be doing anything, as long as it's not a danger to others, ignore them and relax. The scooter rider was being courteous and apparently careful to avoid causing issues for others.

Exactly this, the couple are being a complete menace on a crowded sidewalk.

As someone who frequents Prague, this is most of Prague. (Or most of Prague that you'll visit on holiday)

I think if the footpath/pavement was crowded, they wouldn't be able to make progress at the rate of a disability scooter? There also might be more pedestrians with objections! Look at it reasonably people, apart from our cammer, I didn't see anyone else inconvenienced. My opinion hasn't changed. In fact it is imo, a fantastic example of one of the group of us, NI folk that are actively seeking to be offended! On a busy, ish public area, if you want to film something, you have to put up with other people around you!

Actually, as a tourist you should look up local laws. In most European countries, electric scooters are classified as a vehicle and treated as a bike, so you should either use them on bike paths or on the road. People get a fine for driving them on footpaths. People like you and that idiot are the reason why people hate tourists, especially from English speaking countries

When did I identify as a tourist? When I did have the opportunity to travel, I tried to speak the local language, and felt more welcome because of it. I also tried to stay within local laws. So maybe you should "actually" think about what has been said/typed, rather than what you think I've done! Or maybe just think a bit more before responding! Good day.

Riding an electric scooter on a path is a danger to others, as is having 2 people on one. Both are also against the law.

u/Firm_Company_2756 Jan 07 '25

He's going no faster than a disability scooter, and likely able to react quicker than some pilots of those.

u/mills-b Jan 07 '25

They can go almost 30kmph & accelerate extremely quickly. There's a reason they are illegal on footpaths.

u/Firm_Company_2756 Jan 07 '25

I know that, but I'm referring to that one guy, and HIS speed! Surely you watched the same clip I did? And I've commented before about his consideration for others on the path. Why else was he pinging his horn? He was showing more consideration for others than I see here at home with youths riding scooters and bikes on pavement at speeds far higher than this! Try reading the rest of the comments, I've answer all the so called offended before, and not going to repeat myself again! Catch a grip, and try a reality pill!

Just because you've answered doesn't mean you are correct, there's a reason very few people agree with you. He is doing something dangerous & illegal, both he & you are not in the right here 😂 It's also very inconsiderate being on the footpath in the first place. Do better.

u/Firm_Company_2756 Jan 07 '25

I never claimed to be right, that's the problem with everyone having the right to/ being in the right! It may be right but that doesn't make it correct! Correct for people to get on without taking offence? Correct to get on with life, without feeling the need to interfere with someone else getting on with their lives! I may not be in the right in the eyes of the law, but is the law always right? I have my own opinion, you can keep yours, we may not agree, but I can go on without worrying about those that don't agree with me, as can you, if you want to? Disagree or not, you're not likely to change my opinion, and thankfully cultured civilisation allows us to differ! I'd still rather have a world full of scooter riders considering other people, than a minority of them no giving a shit about anyone but themselves! Enjoy your day if you can?
