E-Scooters

You'll get the gist quick enough. Feel free to vent about life's rich tapestry and how it pisses you off. But steer clear of other forum members or you will be the target of a virtual kick up the arse.

E-Scooters

Post by Zambo »

Seem to have an increase in their use in my area, with the cunts that own them riding on the pavement.

I was out on my daily this am, when I saw one speeding towards me. I was in the middle of the pavement, and so was he. I was fucked if I was going to move, so I carried on, on the same line, and for a while so did he. When he got within about 20 yards, he started to wobble, not knowing which line to take, and ended up in a hedge. I didn't even look round, just carried on. :D

On a serious note, these contraptions are a serious health risk, to the owners of them as well as pedestrians. They are apparently illegal on footpaths, but when you see a copper out and about around once every three months, what is the chance of law enforcement. My local cop shop is open twice each week for an hour each time. wtf do they do all day!?

You can only hope they become organ doners of the future, they are certainly not allowed on any pedestrianised areas.

EPAC's (electrically assisted bikes) are a bit of a bug bear of mine, I'm now learned to look three or four times before crossing because they're doing a "bit" more than 15mph on a Deliveroo run.

...come on, it's the same old story of people being the problem, not the E-Scooters themselves. A bit like social media allowing thick cunts on.

If the people who are riding the scooters, are putting others going about their daily business at risk to injury, even death, then they are very much the fucking problem.

Generally ridden by fucking cunts with zero road sense, hoodies and headphones.

Should all be flattened by traffic.

Saw him again today, this time he was on the road with lights on. At least there, he is more a danger to himself, rather than everyone else.

In my neck of the woods law enforcement isn't a problem with this.
If you're riding a scooter you've bought yourself which are according to the police, dangerous and illegal on the roads they will sieze it, according to a Facebook post last Xmas.

The massive fleet of council scooters though, are absolutely safe, ridden responsibly, and never dumped on the pavement after its user has done with it creating a further hazard.

They're all overgrown teenagers, aren't they?

I don't think I've ever seen a child riding one, just the usual crowd of Council-Wallahs that a few years ago would walk out of the Council Office with a skateboard under their arm and a determined look plastered all over their twat faces.
That's the giveaway; they look so serious in their E-Scooter riding. They never smile, as one would from enjoyment; they're making A Statement.

Thousands die weekly but there's thousands more feral wasteoids ready to step up and scoot. It's like Frogger.
