Motor Transport

What is it about having a motor that makes people think they can ignore traffic laws? Today I have gotten almost run over by an e-scooter going the wrong way down a one-way street-- the light for the one-way street was red; I should not have to worry about other things intruding on the crosswalk-- and a motorcycle running a red to go the wrong way down a different one-way street in the bike lane. Motorcycles are not bicycles and do not belong in the bike lane.

Seriously, other than motorized wheelchairs if it has a motor it is a vehicle and needs to go in the traffic lane.

Yup. The law actually allows for some motorized vehicles in the bike lane, but frankly I think that law should be changed.
