Johnson City, Tn. here. I have to agree with CliffordK as everyone on the road should have equal legal protection afforded to them.
Now as for these scooters. My only interaction with them came last Fall in Washington D.C. They were all over the place on the sidewalks and if you weren't careful you would get hit. The same with cyclists there. Too many of them fly around on the sidewalks. I met one guy at a stop light who was riding on the road and applauded him for doing so.
Scooters do need a new category as they are just starting to show up in larger numbers. I will drop my rep and senator a line to get their thoughts and voice my concerns as well.
