Heck, if folks stopped riding scooters, Italy would grind to a standstill tomorrow:-) - -Duncan A sweet old lady with blue hair, an old man with no hair or a DWI/DUI driver will never see you,. even in broad daylight This does not include all the "good drivers" on the road . Chances are they will not see you either. I feel like I am a dart board and everyone is trying to hit me and this is in a SUV. Scooters , motorcycles and ATVs are instant quadriplegic , paraplegic or widow makers. Something to consider if you have a family.
