College Football Players give scooters a bad rap

Is it me or does every year bring a new crop of football players at major Universities that seem unable to handle a 50cc scooter.

In Gainesville home of the Gators a single year can't go by without an athlete running someone over or crashing. Every single time this happens you hear the calls for more regulation, helmets, more education for riders, and parking spots. Then it goes away almost as fast as the injury heals.

Honestly, what we need to do is tell scooter riders on campus to stop rushing everywhere and give students more parking so they stop rushing to class. I remember when there were only 200 scooters up at UF how hard it was to find a spot, I can't imagine the difficulties of 5,000 registered scooters.
