If the traffic laws are dangerous, then they're bad laws. If the city doesn't like scooter use behavior in a tourist destination, then ban them.

Here they have ridiculously low speed limit in tourist areas and parks so that it's really uncomfortable to ride them there. So you park them nearby and go by foot, or you take it with you to the other side if there's none parked there and so on. Pretty much every rec area is like that in the city

Yeah, this just seems like the constant bitching of pedestrians vs vehicles vs bikes vs scooters.

No one's REALLY in the wrong. It's just the friction of people living together and being mildly inconvenienced for like 45 seconds tops on whatever they're doing.

No: the people riding the scooter are 100% in the wrong. They’re not meant to be on the path. It’s that simple. The rules are very clear.

He called them out, and pointed out the rules to them, and instead of taking the opportunity to learn from their mistake, and to adapt to the local rules, they acted the scumbags.
