@Phil,

I agree. Also, having ridden scooters, they are much, much less stable than motorcycles. When you hit a pothole or bump, they bounce around all over the place. This is due to the small wheels and light weight. I agree on the lack of gear. I scooterists wearing nothing more than a skirt or shorts and tshirt most of the time. I can't think of once where I saw a scooterist wearing an armored jacket.

As far as stopping inches off the bumper of a car and careless filtering, that supports my argument that scooterists should be required to go through the same training and licensing as motorcycles.

The issue that GGW brings up is regarding parking and encouraging motorized transport on something that takes up less room than a car. Why not solve the problem directly by providing secure parking? Reclassifying scooters as bicycles and minimizing the already minimal regulations surrounding scooters is not the answer.
