   I really hope the idiots in the cities don't ruin electric scooters for everyone here in Norway. There's even been some discussion about banning the use of electric scooters during nighttime and fuck that.

     @shpuld @hardbass2k8 @quad when those scooters first showed up around university here (couple of years ago?) so many people broke bones and crashed into each other that they got banned on campus pretty quickly. then i think the city kicked them out too? because businesses were too frustrated with parking and such being impeded

     @hardbass2k8 @quad it would make no sense with the scooters where there's no interaction between people to rent them, and cars are quite different to scooters and bicycles where there's no paperwork involved. just hold the person driving fully responsible for causing damage while drunk, when someone hits another person in the face with a glass in a bar, is it the bars fault for providing glasses to drunk people?

     @quad tbh they should just get their shit together and hold the rental companies responsible, the same discussion is happening in germany and somehow they are trying to twist the interpretation of the law into being “unclear” even though there are decades of precedents with rental cars, where the owner is responsible for making sure only qualified, sober & reliable people drive their vehicles.

     i wonder how much investor money the scooter companies are spending on “lobbying” to the politicians shilling this bullshit

     So many people renting scooters drunk in Oslo and Bergen, or just crashing into people at 20 km/h on the sidewalk. Not to mention that the rental scooters all over the streets are basically just litter.We got away decently scot-free when rental scooters launched in Oslo. But Bergen got scooters in June and ever since it's been a constant argument about tightening regulations.

     @shpuld @hardbass2k8 @quad do think it's a fad thing, though; companies just milk as much as possible while novel, so shouldn't long-term worrylike the bike rental thing showed up here first, back before scooters by another year or two, but those disappeared pretty soon after business complaints and huge numbers being stolen. and then same thing with the scooters, were guys just driving around with trucks and loading them up, and no one was caught i think because that was also the business plan for necessary maintenance. was talk even of like the back of the truck being lined in a faraday cage to prevent showing where the scooters ended up before the boxes got cut
