[quote=Anonymous]The one scooter death in the DC region was of someone riding a scooter in the street, who was hit by a motor vehicle, in Dupont Circle. It was one of a sequence of tragedies in which pedestrians and people on bikes were hit by motor vehicles. We have problems across the region with roads that need to be changed to make them safe for all. Scooter riders are not immune to the problem, but they certainly did not cause it. Since people are posting anecdotes from across the country, here is some actual data from across the country https://www.fastcompany.com/90294569/the-number-of-pedestrians-killed-by-cars-keeps-going-up https://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/pedestrian_safety/index.html https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2019/03/traffic-deaths-data-pedestrian-fatalities-self-driving-cars/583960/[/quote]
