1. The township for not doing something about it. This keeps happening.
   Sidewalks should get priority so nobody is confused.

   • What does installing sidewalks have to do with this particular video? The pedestrian WAS ON a sidewalk!!

     • Watch the video again. Kid was in the street! without a helmet too. Not surprised…

     • The pedestrian was not the one involved. The boy on the scooter was, and he was riding on the shoulder, in the driver’s blind spot.

2. The kid did NOT check for traffic

3. Driver must always look in their blind spot before turning, and therefore their fault. That said the scooter rider wasn’t being too smart either.

4. Zoning Board

5. The bike

6. Parents, for buying these dangerous toys for their kids

7. I was right behind that car when the incident happened, that boy was weaving in-between the cars as the traffic was pretty bad. He was not looking where he was going and being that I witnessed the entire incident it was definitely the boys fault.

8. Car driver did not use his turn signal.

9. the car was not signaling for a right turn AND the scooter was passing in the curb – both wrong!

10. If the car was not signaling right, it’s the car’s fault. If the car was signaling (and It appear to be doing that) then its the fault of the guy on the scooter,

11. It’s likely the Driver was not paying enough attention

12. Lakewood, for having the suburban mindset that scooters and cyclists don’t belong on the road. In New York City it’s obligatory for drivers to check for cyclists in their blind spot before they make a turn. I lost points on my driving test because I made that mistake.

    Speaking of which, if anyone has any constructive advice for me, which streets can I make a biking exercise route on when I’m in Lakewood? I’ve done all kinds of large avenues in NYC, but I know that I’ll get killed on New Hampshire or The 9 south of Kennedy, even with multiple strobe lights attached to my bike.

13. Kid on the scooter is to blame.

14. Nobody’s at fault. Everybody is a big tzadeek no matter how they drive a car or a scooter.

15. The car should look where he’s going next time and I wouldn’t have got hit
