To Whomever Can Answer My Question,
What road rules apply to scooters/mopeds?
Can they ride down the middle of the street, even if the speed limit is 35, and the vehicle in question is having a hard time going over 30?
My thoughts, yes, I can pass them (safely). They are not a registered vehicle (am I correct?) and the driver does not need a license (again, is that correct?).
In my mind, they are riding a bicycle, with a motor. And, I pass bicycles (safely).
Most mopeds/scooters seem to have limited speed capabilities. Made even more limited in our area, where you need to drive uphill, both ways, to arrive to your destination.
While, I understand the draw to these vehicles; cheap, uses little gas, no license or registration required, I also find them to be a nuisance. Or, more specifically, the drivers a nuisance.
Just because it has a motor doesn't mean you can ride the road like the grown-ups. And no, scooters/mopeds are not motorcycles, don't even go there.
Is this a case of my lead foot (and a little road rage) getting the better of my judgment, or do I have a point here?
Feel free to leave a comment,
Thank you.
