    I don’t have any qualms with the rental cycle industry. We all know that tourists are shakey. (Accidents happen)

    But. It boils my blood when I see drivers (motorist) sit on top of these scooters.. whats the rush?

    Yes, please keep back from all tourists. Give them plenty of space, especially when passing.

    It is very intimidating having someone up your back and could cause them to hit the curb as they are constantly looking in their mirrors to see the car on their tail!

    I hope that this is not what happened in this instance. Our tourists are precious!

    Please get well soon!
