Earlier today, the Palm beach Post reported that a young girl was killed and another injured when hit by a car while driving motorized scooters. This awful local tragedy raises a couple of safety concerns of mine.
First, please do not allow your children to ride motorized scooters in the street. They usually do not have the same safety features of a street legal vehicle making them more difficult to see by passing motorists. In addition, the rider is usually not wearing safety gear. While it seems like a lot of fun, it probably is not a good idea.
Second, please drive slow through residential neighborhoods and pay attention to your surroundings. Often times, people are in a rush to get wherever they are going or just not paying attention to the road. This is even more prevalent now that almost everyone has the ability to send text messages. Take your time, slow down and focus on the road.
