Businesses can’t operate but these nuisances allowed to roam free.
WHY ARE THE POLICE NOT PATROLLING?
If they’re not getting locked up, why would businesses be fined for opening to generate revenue?
The scooter riders who are neglient with their own lives will pay the price. Just leave them kill themselves what does that got to do with you..... its their life and if they want it cut short then LET THEM GO..... not enough jobs going around anyway.
