I must ask Chris Teo Sherrell: 'what planet are you on?” after reading your article (The Weekend Sun, December 13, page 45).

Separate lane for e-scooters?

We have a cycle lane at Matapihi and 40 per cent are arrogant enough not to use it, so why would e-scooters use them?

Watch cyclists and you will see texting, no helmets, two abreast and those who don't stop at lights nor at stop signs.

Laws here around cyclists are never enforced so how will e-scooters be?

How many vehicles do you see with their number plates obscured by a bike? Now ask the police how many tickets have been issued for this. They won't tell you and can't tell you.

Scooters are a menace but sadly they are here to stay so as a walker you must be, put up with it.

We have to.

D Hellier, Matapihi.
