  • It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that cars are running over these kids. Kids are naive and trust that cars aren’t trying to run then over so they’ll make stupid decisions (for our car brained society that lets people drive until they drop dead without annual testing).

    Then look at the types of injuries, you’re not cracking your skull or lacerating your abdomen falling off a kid’s scooter that basically go human running speed (18-30km/h) MAX.

    Then we have doctors taking about “sprains” and “concussions” typical falling off your e scooter injuries, but that the worst injuries are car related and it’s pretty easy to see what’s happening even with the blatant pro car bias this article has.


  • She said collisions with motor vehicles is definitely the most dangerous aspect, but in all situations, these scooters require a certain level of skill and balance.

    I love how they’re going out of their way to not admit this whole article is actually about cars running over kids on scooters.

    I hate how much we protect drivers from accountability for their actions. If I go out and stab a kid for no reason I’m in jail for decades. If I run over enough kids on scooters they’ll write whole-ass articles arguing that “scooters are unsafe”



  • That doesn’t sound right. How can you guarantee zero fly/fruit fly eggs in something like orange juice with pulp. Fly eggs are tiny and can be found on fresh fruit skins even on the trees. Certain juices preclude the kind of filtration that could be used to achieve 100% fruit fly egg removal. I don’t know anything about European food regulations, but from a practical perspective it seems impossible to guarantee ZERO fruit fly egg contamination. Especially considering Europe tends to be more flexible with insects in food than the US such as Casu martzu.

    I suspect if there really is no max insect parts limit, there is a procedural requirement that ensures contamination is kept low.
