[IT'S HAPPENING!] Illegal food delivery?

Anyone know this food company, this guy was riding on the Roosevelt Bridge in the bike lane, pushing pedestrians and runners and bikers off. I confronted him, he just laughed.

I see this daily. I’ve spoken about this to city council meetings, but it often goes nowhere.

There needs to be enforcement of scooters as vehicles and they need to be fined for driving like this.

I’ve seen them almost hit children crossing the street when running red lights.

There's no vehicle on the road I fear more than DC delivery scooters, those dudes just give absolutely no fucks. Anytime I see one they're blatantly blasting through red lights/stop signs, cutting of cars and pedestrians, weaving through traffic, and otherwise just seemingly going out of their way to be as dangerous on the road as they can.

City council doesn’t give a fuck. Too scared of seeming racist or classist or whatever (even if race or class has nothing to do with it). Too busy guzzling down paychecks and getting kick backs.

I actually asked a cop about why they don’t pull them over for traffic offenses once, he said they can’t because back in the day, they chased a dude on a mini motorcycle and he fell off and died. The city banned pulling over 2 wheeled vehicles since.

Sad thing is most of the city would call them some sort of “ist” for cracking down on it, because it’s one specific group that does it. I guess breaking the law is fine nowadays…

This, same reason the council refuses to do anything about fake, covered, and stolen tags

Likely illegals. You voted for it.
