It's laughable to anyone who bikes or walks in the city that they drive safely. I guess you get off on knowing they annoy people, which is fine. A few will turn themselves to pancakes annually and hopefully they don't hurt too many pedestrians along the way.[/quote]

The point is that the moped drivers don't have the ability to obliterate an entire family as does the operator of a four ton murder machine. But continue telling yourself that they do.[/quote]

Murder machines! This silly rhetoric really misleads people about what is actually happening. Lets look at some official government stats, shall we?

In 2022, there were:

-a grand total of 17 people in Washington DC who were killed by car drivers

-nearly as many deaths, 15, were blamed on bicyclist/pedestrian/scooter errors

-there were 203 homicides[/quote]

With all these crazy moped drivers, only a matter of time before traffic deaths blamed on people who aren't in cars will exceed those blamed on motorists. [/quote]

What part of physics do you not understand? In an accident the car is inherently at fault for increased severity of injury due to size/speed. If mopeds replaced cars, there would be many fewer injuries and deaths. [/quote]

Every accident is different, and it's up to the police to investigate the specific circumstances in each one, and determine who is at fault.

Their most recent data shows more than 40 percent of fatal traffic accidents in Washington DC are the fault of pedestrians and cyclists and scooters.

If you have a problem with that, then maybe you should take it up with them.

But since you obviously don't know the first thing about what happened in any of these incidents, maybe just shut the *uck up?  [/quote]

What, the scooters are riding into open manholes and dying? Bicyclists are riding into buildings and dying? There is some mysterious force that executes pedestrians when they stray beyond some white paint? So what is happening to them? [/quote]
