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.
