The danger difference between scooters and cars is massive. It's on the scooter driver to be cognisant of their surroundings and the people they could hurt, just like cars

But my coworker got hit by a car while using his scooter on the road 3 days ago. Cars are just way more dangerous to scooters than scooters are to pedestrians

There's still added danger. Crossing a street is hostile enough, but at least the sidewalk is predictable. When I'm behind a row or parked cars, everyone is moving at the same speed and it's fine. Throw motorized vehicles onto the sidewalk and now it's even more hostile.

Let pedestrians have some space.
