Re: The Parking Lot...where scooters should stay.

Scooter-guy was moving around (after tail-gating actually) a slow moving car.

The driver also was clearly braking as soon as scooter guy moved over AND came to a stop quickly. Watch, from the time scooter guy moves over to complete stop is less than two light poles. If the driver had been going at a "reckless speed", scooter guy would have been under his car before coming to a stop.

Scooter guy didn't signal, and cut off a car that had the right of way. The more I watched it, the more clear it was scooter guy at fault all the way.
The car driver has an obligation to do everything he can to avoid hitting the scooter, I'm not convinced he did that. I think he had enough time to avoid hitting him. I would say 75/25, scooter guy at fault
