Accidents Involving Bird Scooters

While Bird scooters may seem like an ingenious idea to provide personal mobility at an extremely low cost (both in terms of price and environmental impact), there are flaws with the plan that have many people growing more and more concerned. Reckless riders have been found to leave the scooters in the middle of public walkways where they can cause someone to trip over them and fall.

Other riders simply hop onto the sidewalk to avoid vehicle traffic, increasing the risk of a pedestrian collision. Even riders who do operate vehicles safely are at risk of a vehicle hitting them simply because they weren’t paying attention or didn’t see them operating in a bike lane as they’re encouraged to do.
