Well, if you don't like them on either, where would you suggest they be ridden?
Part of the problem is that pedestrians often pay no heed to folks in scooters. Speaking from my wife's experience, pedestrians seem to believe that scooters and wheelchairs can stop instantly, so they just step directly into their path without even looking. I've seen far more of that behavior than I ever saw of folks with scooters causing accidents. Then again, I've also seen far more pedestrians endangering their own well-being than I have of drivers behaving irresponsibly when pedestrians are about.
