Next level of responsibility is to the Government. Raise the legal age to get a scooter licence from 16 to 18. It is natural for young people to have no fear of injury or death. We all went through that phase when we were young.
Scooter riders please stop taking risks while riding and ride safe, wear your helmet, follow the rules of the road. And to the wider public, stop rejoicing when scooter riders get injured, one day it may be someone you know very well or one of your loved ones.
I beg of you find a way to do something otherwise our streets will continue to be filled with blood, serous injuries and deaths. Parents may try their best, some may not even have a clue what to do some children dont listen to parents, friends, family, no body. You have the final say do something otherwise their blood will continue to be on you'll shoulder. Forget about votes if they are not alive they still can't vote for anyone. Let it be the reverse it's time you all vote for public and do what is necessary so you can have a story to tell the public when seeking vote. The handwriting is on the wall a long time but we continue to turn a blind eye. Seems like only if it hit us on our door step we then want to do something about it. Be a proactive government don't talk about the laws on books police can only do so much because when they take bikes, lock up some, we quick to bash them. Peter must pay for Paul do the unconventional thing amend laws, implement new legislation or take them off the road period.
I'm asking again how much longer will the streets be filled with blood from scooter accidents?
