Why get a license for a scooter?
After all, scooters are cute, harmless and playful, like bunnies. Motorcycles are mean, nasty and angry, like pit bulls. Only a reckless maniac would ride a motorcycle or own a pit bull.
Most motorcycle crashes occur on city streets, at speeds under 40 mph. That's exactly where and how scooters are used, but of course giving a vehicle a different name casts a magic spell over it, negating the need to have any training to ride it.
I'm going to buy a surplus F-16 from Pakistan and call it a hang glider so I can fly it without registration or a pilot's licence. Who wants to go for a ride?
