US city bans all electric scooters following rider death
The mayor of Nashville, capital of Tennessee, announced that all publicly-accessible electric scooters operating within the city will be banned and removed "immediately".
Following the death of an intoxicated individual who was killed while riding on a Bird electric scooter in Nashville, the city's mayor David Briley announced that all e-scooters will be "removed from the Metro rights-of-way immediately upon the enactment of the Council legislation".
Despite the city police determining that the scooter rider was responsible for the accident, Mayor Briley believes that the vehicles produce a sufficient number of safety concerns – including "improper riding, parking violations, and poor rider education" – that the shared e-scooters should be banned completely.
In May, Briley requested that all shared urban mobility device companies operating within the city address these various concerns within 30 days; however, in response to the death, he has recommended to the Metro Council that all e-scooter programmes are discontinued.
The city remains open to the possibility of shared mobility devices operating within the Nashville, but only if "they are able to meet our requirements for safety and accessibility".

There should be no car on the road as GM cannot guarantee what is driven on the road is safe.
So many road accidents.
So many drink-drive that kills.
Believe the Mayor must be anti-Chinese.........
