On Tuesday evening, a car passenger videoed a man riding a scooter on the hard shoulder of the Via Cintura in Palma.
The video was taken near the Son Hugo exit, a point on the Via Cintura where traffic is at its heaviest. As well as being illegal to ride a scooter on a motorway, he wasn't wearing the mandatory reflective vest or a helmet. It was, to say the least, extremely dangerous.
The riding of scooters is, in general, limited to bike lanes and to roads with a maximum 30km/h speed limit.

In Palma I frequently witness two riders on a scooter, riders without helmets or hi-viz vests and riding on pavements while pedestrians have to scatter out of their way (while the cycle lane where they should be is empty). Come on, let's get these off our streets before someone is seriously hurt.
