Street rules are something you have to apply. It doesn’t matter if you are on your bike, in a car or on a scooter. It is always smart to drive defensive, not aggressive. This is especially the case if you are unprotected on your scooter.
Passengers and drivers have steel construction to protect them; we have nothing. Nothing beside helmet and our style of riding.
You will always notice big pickup truck at the crossroads. Right? But they may not notice you, that’s the fact. This is our burden, and because of that, we have to notice everything and everyone (pedestrians) and ride carefully.
A sensible decision is to inform yourself a bit about your local law and rules. Also, observe the situation in your area. What is the most important is to observe the way of traffic in your district. And it is important to know are electric scooters street legal or not. But more important is how you behave in traffic.
If there is a law to allow you to ride, but in your commute route is too much traffic that has chaotic nature you can conclude that there is a problem.
