WTF San Diego?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Effing scooters everywhere. Assholes riding them on sidewalks, down the middle of streets, and through private property. Then they dump them anywhere.

Saw two accidents while we were there. A drunk ran into a group of people at an arts and crafts show, and some guy with a little girl on the scooter clipped a bollard sending the poor kid flying to the ground.

2. It's not just San Diego.

It's everywhere those stupid scooters are.

Sensible cities are not allowing them in.

11. Milwaukee is looking at this too.

There have already been several accidents with them.

3. Portland's got 'em too

Last year was the first year, and it was pretty bad. This year, anecdotally speaking, it seems to be better. People are using them for short jaunts, (mostly) piloting them with a degree of caution, and (mostly) parking them responsibly.

I still don't like them very much, but they're less irritating this year.

4. Here in Scottsdale, AZ as well.

They are a menace to pedestrians.

5. San Diego here, and I'm sick of them littering my street

I always try to pick them up but it's ridiculous now

6. It's incredible. They're everywhere. And the assholes riding them yelling at people to get out of

the way. Not to mention the idiots looking at their cell phones as they drive them. A bartender where we ate told us how in the morning they have to clear them out of the open air seating area where they’ve been thrown over the railings.

7. Toss them in the dumpster. The company will find them.

Toss them in the dumpster. The company will find them.

9. (heard you the first time)

8. Riverside CA made Bird and Lime take that shit out

until they can come up with some system to limit their impact.

10. Photos show tripping hazards that could particularly affect.....

handicapped and elderly citizens. Assuming these things have an embedded electronic I.D., why can't the city fine the rental companies for littering and causing a safety hazard? Make them included a bar code or other means of I.D. so a city worker could just scan them before removal.

Assuming the company knows who rented the unit, they could in turn charge the user a fee as compensation. Car rental companies do something similar to cover repair of damaged vehicles.
