Witnessed scooters wrecking in Clearwater...
« on: June 22, 2022, 11:08:46 AM »
Those electric ones.
I was sitting under some 🌴 on a bench while the ladies etc.
I noted a fellow coming down the broad walkway on one of these black electric scooters.
Then I saw his girl friend comjng. She was absolutely flying to catch him up.
He turned a little to the side right in front of me as she came flying up...her scoot hit his hard. She went headfirst into the tropical greenery after her knees hit the curbing. Her head just missed a thick palm 🌴.
She came out of her visit to Saigon loudly and....really, really PO'd!
I was going to point out that it was her uncontrolled speeding which caused her crash.....but she didn't look receptive to my help.

This youngster had an amusing explanation for the 3 bullet holes in the back of his VW 🚌.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Do you go looking for these out of the ordinary interactions Stig or do they just follow you around?  ;D

ooh...I'm guessing that neither electric scooter rider had on anything more protective than shorts and sandals? Hope they were ok. I saw a scooter rider in Nashville run face first into a minivan. We thought she was dead...but luckily all the alcohol she'd consumed must have softened the blow.
