nLikenANY vehicle (or just being a pedestrian), scooters of both sorts cannbe dangerous. You can make scooting a lot safer by wearing a helmet,nusing sidewalks or other off-road paths where it is safe and legal tondo so, and of course using caution around other vehicles –nespecially all the vehicles that are larger, faster, and morenpowerful than yours. (Which, when you’re on a scooter, means all ofnthem!)
