    I have crashed my escooter on slippery wet leaves. They were too slippery to steer.

    Now I ride my bike instead I haven’t had that problem as the roads are swept

      Probably depending on the country and according legislature, but as a pedestrian, I often wish for more scooters to take to the road as well. In most aspects they are very equivalent to bicycles and just as fast and dangerous. Worst of all are those scooter drivers who switch between road and sidewalk with every traffic light.

        We’re required to keep on footpaths on scooters here (Canberra). The only roads we’re allowed to scoot on are the most minor ones with no centre line, the leaves were on a concrete footpath and it had rained
