Hi,

Im thinking of getting a push scooter to get around the city centre.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or observed any garda incidents or crashes. i dont want to get one and get arrested on first day for going on a push scooter on a path. Or will it be frowned upon.

Im hoping if i take a common sense approach and go slow or stop if the path is busy with pedestrians i wont have hassle. i dont plan on racing it, just looking to cut walking time by half by going at a normal speed.

tks
