We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Seems that he had more than enough time to come to a quicker stop. He didn't brake aggressively enough for me. The scooter doesn't do him any favors by putting on his brakes too, but I know I've been cut off worse than that and been able to avoid hitting someone.
