    It’s sad to hear despite he was probably reckless and not being safe. I hope scooters don’t get a bad wrap from this. Cars don’t get a “it’s too dangerous” sentiment despite all the drunk driving that still occurs. At least a scooter was less likely to have hurt other innocent people.

      Yeah he was almost certainly being reckless and made bad decisions.

      But if we had better-designed road networks, that reckless decision may not have cost him his life.
