    Lime e-scooter in Brisbane nearly caused accident

    Someone was nearing the work car park and noticed two girls in very short shorts bending over and seemed to be having a problem with an e-scooter

    Driver looks up, slams on breaks and pulls up millimeters from car in front.....

    Swing around to carpark and one of the girls had stacked their scooter and had grazed her knee......like to you really need to bend over at the hips to look.

    You need a note from your Doctor first.

    My office is in Southbank (Grey Street) and I see this stupid things all the time...someone is (if not already) going to be seriously injured or killed.

    I just about got knocked from behind as I was walking up the footpath. These scooters can do a fair rate of knots and combined with people who have no idea how to ride them, it's a reciepe for disaster.

    Not to mention that users just dump them anywhere.

    what a stupid idea

    ok. i'll go back to work now

    You might have seen me on one today given you’re just around the corner

    Agree there are going to be some by-standers injured along with riders....yes they go fast and with both pedestrian and rider being unpredictable it’s a recipe for disaster

    I haven’t seen any dumped, they seem to get parked up against building or mostly out of the way.

    Although I’m very surprised they have been given the Lime ‘Green’ Light

    These scoorers must have a short range, I haven't seen any around Ippy.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
