mate this is tragic but honestly why are these scooters even allowed on roads without proper rules

Grace Patel2026-06-22T05:06:07.000Z

yeah nah the speed wobbles on those things are lethal

River Cole2026-06-22T04:32:07.000Z

another one… how many ppl gotta die before council actually does something

Tom Harris2026-06-22T04:46:07.000Z

RIP but seriously, no helmet? in the early hours? what did we expect

Kai Thompson2026-06-22T05:30:07.000Z

helmet wouldn't fix a bad wipeout at speed. infrastructure is the issue

Eva Anderson2026-06-22T05:15:07.000Z

fkn council just bans everything fun but won't regulate these death traps properly

SHUT UP WITH THE VICTIM BLAMING. every death is a system failure. council, scooter companies, all of them should be sued into oblivion.

Tom Harris2026-06-22T06:38:07.000Z

bet he was drunk. my mate broke his wrist on one after a few beers

River Cole2026-06-22T06:46:07.000Z

lol 'system failure' you sound like a uni student who's never worked a real job

Sky Murphy2026-06-22T06:22:07.000Z
