One complaint a week, and that's a problem? Give me a break. Last night probably a dozen or more Canadians were killed in car crashes, and a hundred injured. I don't think scooters are causing much grief.
Police aren't about to stand behind lamp standards with radar guns clocking speeding scooters, Ducker said, but he suggests scooters should be licensed by the province...
Why does everyone think that licensing somehow makes things safer/better? Among the most licensed and regulated things in our lives are vehicles and booze, I don't know that their licensing has an impact on their safety very much.
