Rusty, what would happen if everybody in the country raised alligators? Old Louisiana joke. Seriously, your question is one that requires too long and complicated an answer. Depends on which law, who made it and why, how old are you, how much experience do you have, are you willing to pay the price, how much do most people actually follow the law, etc., etc. The law says I have to put on my seat belt to move my truck from one side of the street to the other.

bottom line....KIDS BOUNCE WHEN THEY HIT THE GROUND))))) think about how many times YOU AS A CHILD....did exactly that!!!!!! AT OUR AGE NOW.......the last thing we want to do is FALL!!!! WE DONT BOUNCE....WE BREAK))))) so asuming a child is in danger of falling off a scooter....i really hate to inform ya....but i would bet hes fallen from many other things before he reaches 16)))))))))) myself, i have busted my head falling of my bicycle many times. fell thru the ice on a froze over creek, fell off a cliff 25-30 feet straight down.....AND SURVIVED))))) heck another kid tried to hang me in a tree....with bailing twine...IT BROKE)))))its part of learning.....when you get hurt doing something.....THE SMART ONES dont do it again.........then there are.....us who get back on their bicycle and see how fast they can go round the same turn THEY FELL OFF OF earlier that day)))))

But seriously you don't really mean that a kid won't get hurt falling off a scooter.

The more I read your posts, on this thread, the more convinced I am that you missed your call, in life.
You should, without hesitating, walk away from the signs and the pottery and pursue a career in the field of Child Care.....Right now !....You were born for it......You would be wonderful with the kids.
I can imagine all the other good things those kids would be learning from you, while under your care.

GAWD!!! This thread is turning into an episode of "Mary Hartman Mary Hartman"!!!
I love it.
In our small village of 1500, folks do drive and ride around on e-bikes and golf carts and riding lawnmowers. Some do even have grandkids onboard. I don't see it as a problem. It's not like it would be in a large city where everyone drives like they are late for their own funeral.
I loved that pic of the 6 people on the bike (plus dog)!!! We regularly see a family of 4 or 5 on a scooter in Mexico...but I don't recall seeing 6!
Amazingly enough the accidents that occur don't involve the families on the scooters..It is the drunken kids or the "invincible" delivery guys who weave in and out of traffic and ignore all of the rules of the road.

Hey, here in states we have a prez who takes abandonded children and puts them in Government warehouses. After a few days, he puts them on busses and drops them off in various cities. I say let the kid ride. He's got more protection than our leader offers kids.

Agrees with Dave...yep...it explains alot...multiple head traumas combined with several oxygen deprivation events when OP was young...that's why I can never be mad at OP ever again...after all these years of listening to his convoluted logic I now understand...my frustration and outrage are now replaced with understanding, compassion, and forgiveness.

Apologizes to Joe for thinking all these years that he was just some crazed, demented, old fart...I just didn't understand...and again I would like to offer my heart felt apology to Joe for thinking as I did.
Wow...it's simply amazing what an apology can do for the soul...I feel so much better now.

It's Okay, Ricardo.... everyone else is writing what I was going to:
myself, i have busted my head falling of my bicycle many times. fell thru the ice on a froze over creek, fell off a cliff 25-30 feet straight down.....AND SURVIVED))))) heck another kid tried to hang me in a tree....with bailing twine...IT BROKE)))))
....explains a lot!! But I wasn't sure if Joe could take a joke!
He makes some valid points about 'when I was kid'...we drove around without seatbelts, Dad usually had a rye & coke when we went for the 'Sunday drive', rode around on the back bumper of the truck, climbed trees - fell outta trees.
I grew up in the country; had my first mini-snowmobile at age 5, went on to drive dune buggy, motocross bikes, horses and snowmobiles - all before I was 12.
Dad had a wrecking yard...used to play smash-up with Mustangs, Chevelles, and GTOs for fun! Miss those cars now!

Well, guys......Since we have gone South with Shirley's thread, here is a "good feel" video for you, which, I know, will restore your faith in mankind and hopefully will bring us back to where we started.

Hey guys remember Joe's condition...be easy on him...I know he seems like a stubborn old goat...but it's not his fault..he needs our understanding and compassion.

Si...more like I'm not "ornery enough" to top Old Paint...there's nobody quite as ornery as the legendary OP...but give credit where credit is due...OP is a smart old goat as well.
