Yes and no, my wife nearly got clobbered by one operated by someone on a sidewalk who didn’t have control and shouted an ashamed apology as she careened off

Happens all the time with cars. Take away “nearly” and you see the difference.

Except yes and yes. Seriously equating that to cars? Hate the nearly clobbered, sorry about that, but surely cars are a real worse menace?

That person should not have been doing that.
