It's that season again, I guess. All of us--and perhaps especially our good friends of the Zone 5 Station--might keep an eagle eye for kids zooming around the neighborhood on these little motor scooters. Just listen for the high-pitched roar, like a lawn mower on steroids . . . . This afternoon about 4 on Hampton near Fulton School there was a girl, maybe 12-13 years old, maybe younger, just about literally flying down the street on a bright yellow scooter, 35-40 mph, right through stop signs, no helmit, and with a lollypop in her mouth. Yesterday I saw a guy, possibly mid or late teens, on a similar scooter also at a high speed shooting along N. St. Clair in the Jackson/Wellesley vicinity. It's scary. Last year a kid who I swear was maybe 6 or 7 came speeding down N. Euclid on one of these scooters just as I was turning from Wayne Road, and I'm frankly just amazed I didn't hit him. Seems to me this started to pick up about 2-3 years ago--about when Pep Boys started selling these for $200-$300. I don't think it would be too risky a bet that one of these days one of these kids is going to turn a corner into a minvan and get killed, which will be just an incredible tragedy for his or her family for the one driving the other vehicle, and for all of us.
