On Scooter Use
Increasing carelessness in driv
ing motor scooters and small
motorcycles within the city this
week brought a warning from
Chief of Police Dean Gilman.
He pointed out that the scoot
ers and cycles must be licensed,
must have lights and other
equipment as specified by state
law and must not be ridden on
sidewalks.
"In short," he said, "the same
laws apply to them as to other
motor vehicles."
It is illegal for a scooter to be
driven by anyone but a licensed
driver, he pointed out, and the
police department will issue ci
tations to offenders.
The chief said that he and
the officers have witnessed a
number of violations by scooter
operators recently and have
called them to the riders' at
tention when possible.
