Then wear a full-face helmet you ponce. Or design and sell a safer scooter thing, make a buck. Sell it to angsty moms and soibois. Regulations ain't gonna change shit but make it more difficult for normal people to live their lives.

If you have common sense, (if). , you'd be keenly aware of your center of gravity, moving it backward to avoid endos and also squatting to bring center of gravity lower to help avoid endos.
Also reducing speed when its dark and you can't see road hazards.
Scooter is only as dangerous as it's inexperienced driver allows.

I'm just waiting for open season on these idiots, bicycles too, along with skateboard freaks and e-bikes...fuck it, may as well include most pedestrians too.

You seem like the type to fall face first in a scooter accident.

or they could just add a stopper to the front. Also comes in handy to hold your purse when riding. Double duty. Multipurpose multi use. In 2024 its about efficiency and practicability.

You should push it instead queeri, that will solve all of the issues that you mentioned!.

Good luck and be careful out there, what would we do without our intrepid internet journalist?.

In fact, don't answer that!. . .
