Here in Passaic/Clifton one doesn’t need in-depth statistical analysis to see the danger—one needs only to open their eyes.

The electric-scooter riders are yeshiva bochurim—virtually all wearing their black suits—many wearing a helmet in lieu of a black hat—some not.

Their path is a hybrid of street and sidewalk; they veer into the street at will; they ride with or against traffic; they sometimes ride two to a single scooter; and often they run stop signs.

It’s only a matter of time until we will regret the lack of parental/school supervision and lax regard for traffic safety.
