more scooter stories

I didn’t intend for this to become the anti scooter blog. But, I just happen to read in the news a few scooter stories that I thought were worth mentioning.
The first one I saw was in the San Diego Tribune on Sunday. I was reading about how a woman was riding a scooter and her purse got tangled up in the scooter handlebars. In a panic to untangle the purse it caused her to lose control of the bike which made her crash. She is in the hospital with a fractured scull. It makes me wonder if she wasn’t wearing a helmet which wasn't mentioned in the brief story. But, regardless life lesson people. Don’t have a dangling purse if you are getting ready to ride a scooter. And, once again make sure you have a very good helmet. Fracturing your scull should not be part of the scooter riding experience.
The second story I saw was about a kicker for the TCU college football team. Apparently, no fault of his own he also had a scooter accident this weekend. He was riding along the side of the road and a car didn’t see him and that car turned into him sending him flying off the scooter. The story didn’t mention if he was still hospitalized or the what he injured. But, it did say it was sever enough that he probably won’t be on the field all season.
These are good reminders that scooter accidents happen. And, you are much more vulnerable to injuries if you are on one. So, make sure you are driving defensively and that you have the proper safety protection on.
Additionally, make sure all your insurance is up to date. Health insurance, life insurance, personal injury insurance and your motorcycle insurance. As fun as a scooter may sound, it may be cheap to buy and operate one, so use that savings to make sure your insurance is crazy good. Just in case someone hits you. Both of these scooter drivers should recover. But, it is nice to know that your bills would be paid if you are out of commission for awhile.  Call me today for your life insurance and motorcycle insurance quote 951-395-0754
