    She was on a scooter attempting to turn left, amd the car was coming from behind her and tried to overtake on the left?

    Was she turning from the left side or middle of the lane with a turn indicator on? Hopefully, we’ll get more details. Obviously, you shouldn’t just pass a stopped vehicle on the left side at full speed, indicator or not. You need to slow down and figure out what they’re doing. If they’re on the right side of their lane, then maybe you think they’re pulled over and are not expecting them to suddenly go left.

      I don’t think we gotta litigate who’s fault it is she got hurt; I don’t think it matters much. If she’s not at fault that doesn’t make the driver a bad person or bad driver. If she is at fault that doesn’t make her a bad person or bad scooter…operator? rider? (Actually is Scoot-er a person who scoots?)

      Accidents happen, and more cars (or electric scooters for that matter) make them more likely and more dangerous even if everyone is doing the best that can realistically be done!

      Lol, I don’t think anyone would assumed she died…it’s just ironic that she was injured by the danger she was trying to help us all with.

      Broken wrist is pretty brutal. I don’t want to get hit by a car.
