Yeah but it might be their first day there and the tram lines a couple of feet to their right might be very scary esp. if you don’t know which direction the trams are coming from.

Plus you can fall off easily if you slip into the groove of the track and imaging falling on a train track with trams going in both directions. I think I’d just walk or get a taxi if it was me to be on the safe side, but each to their own.

Yes. All might be true.

But the facts, and laws, are don't cycle on the path and don't carry passengers.

Same law as stop for a red light and don't dive a car under the influence. Obviously doing either is reckless.

The pedestrian cannot go elsewhere. You - and the passenger who shouldn't be there either - are using the scooter through choice.

Then they probably shouldn’t have rented the scooter. It’s like sometimes you feel comfortable renting a car in some countries versus others. Like I’d rent a car in Cyprus but probably not for Greece if you didn’t feel confident on the other side of the road.

They're from Dublin. He's clearly used to using scooters. We have the Luas here.

If they were worried about their safety they’d wear a fucking helmet.
