At 10 mph it won't matter how well the personal mobility thingy is going. Induce any sudden acceleration and any unsecured mass is going to continue on its last trajectory. Opinion: Given: It is right and proper that the disabled be able to use powered personal mobility devices in pedestrian traffic. Resolved: Therefore, in the interest of equity, anyone should be able to use powered personal mobility devices wherever they are allowed. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
