Bad motor scooter

  

NY Post

Not so fast.

New York City scooter scofflaws flaunted road rules just feet from an NYPD press conference about cracking down on the two-wheelers Thursday — but officers dragged their feet on ticketing them.

Several drivers on e-scooters were seen blowing through red lights — some with fake license plates or none at all — near the intersection of Yellowstone and Queens boulevards in Forest Hills, where the NYPD and the DOT held a joint press conference about beefing up enforcement in the name of safe streets.

As DOT assistant chief Kim Wiley-Schwartz spoke at a podium next to several police officers, a Chinese food delivery guy driving an e-scooter with a fake New York state license plate zipped by — just 8 feet from the press conference, video shot by the Post shows.

“It’s a national trend but people have gotten into poor driving behavior with more speeding and reckless driving,” Kim Wiley-Schwartz, DOT Assistant Commissioner Chief of Transportation —  said as the rule breaker on wheels rolls up.

The sighting prompted a Post reporter to point out the well-timed sighting, saying, “That’s a fake plate!”

But police took no action — and Wiley-Schwartz plowed through her speech without acknowledging the illegal driver.

The same scooter jerk was later spotted whizzing through a red light — and within 10 minutes, six more scooter drivers were seen without plates near the intersection. Three of them were seen zooming the wrong way down bike lanes and two were spotted running red lights.

VTL violations aren’t a reason to pull over people of a certain race. The city council literally said this. Enjoy your city.

As you can see NYPD don't enforce traffic violations. They never have, not matter which mayor we had, with the exception of a few revenue generating clampdowns on trucks driving off truck routes or other high revenue generating checks.

Why are you worried about showing vaccination cards to eat in a restaurant? It'll never be enforced because it's un-enforcable.

Take a chill pill Queens Crappers.

It's very confusing which scooters need a license plate and which ones don't.Either way if you get hit by either one your going to get hurt.This was allowed to give the delivery drivers a break but has opened up the floodgates for anyone who has a scooter to ride and most are ignoring the rules of the road.If it's got a motor and uses the road they must get a license for public safety.

Only law abiding citizens pay the price with speed cams every 5 blocks.

They should ALL be required to register, insure, take a road test, a written exam and be licensed...

Where in NY are there speed cams every 5 blocks? If there was, there'd be fewer dead bodies in the morgue thanks to homicidal "law abiding citizens" driving their overpowered tanks over innocent pedestrians.

I was walking down Queens Blvd. in front of the District Attorneys building when someone passed me from behind at a high rate of speed. Do we now need eyes in the back of our heads? If that person had hit me I would have been seriously injured.

Enforcing laws is an affront to our personal freedoms. Only fascists enforce laws.

You obviously must not live anywhere in this city, or don't know what these cameras look like if you don't see these stupid ass cameras all over the place. The whole freaking city is booby trapped with these things. They make the speed limit way too low and then these things just bang out tickets all day.

At this point I don't blame people for covering or bending their plates like so many people do nowadays. You can commit any crime in this city and not go to jail or be held accountable, but go a few miles an hour over the bs low speed limit and the city tries to balance the budget off you.

The city should be trying to speed traffic up to get us where we need to go, not slowing everyone down.

Get real. Working class families with Honda CRVs are not running over anyone. It is the vibrant assholes with fake plates and giant SUVs running people over.

Compact SUVs are not overpowered tanks. Bike supremists like you are real assholes.

Very true. The food delivery guy came here to escape a fascist dictatorship. Last thing he needs are more communist laws telling him where he needs to ride his scooter and what plates he should have.
Freedom! Hell Yeah!

100% True, I just moved to City Island its as close to old NYC in the 1950-60s as I could find, have a boat. It almost all white, lots of Italians, NYC firmen and cops. I spoke with a cop (my neighbor next door, another across the street)about the filthy, wilding, drunken inner city shit invading the island on weekends.
Here it is word for word:

The shit comes here to eat fish fry, grease and booze cruise at 3 shacks at the end of the island owned by one greedy bastard named Sam who doesn't care. They parade, drag race, toss takeout garbage, ketchup, Styrofoam take out shells out the car windows. You also have the asshole packs parading ATVs, Motorcycles with the mufflers drilled out.
Its worse and most brazen when these people get stimulus and welfare checks at the end of the month.
All of us know but our hands are tied, only 2 cars for the whole 45PCT that includes Co-Op City and a 4 hour wait if we need a Sargent at the scene (permission) to do a DWI test and arrest (and that's only if we actually seen who was driving and somebody was hurt).
Its absolute absurd!!
It makes me sick "we can not ticket these inner city people" they always put up an argument that ends in a fight and we get reprimanded.
These people now believe THEY have immunity, they literally spit and taunt at us.
We have orders to "stand down" under the new de-escalation requirement, even if we are spit on (assaulted) by a person of color, poverty or mental illness.
This f_cking cop hating mayor and City Council also passed a series of reforms to make SURE we cant act on our own by ending qualified immunity for officers, which protected use against civil lawsuits.
If we get into a brawl with a problem person who doesn't like getting a ticket, pulled over having to provide a license, reg and insurance card, arrested for intox & urination in somebody's hallway, DWI, and WORSE chaise an ATV, bike and it crashes the perp committing the crime or VTL we get sued and must pay the lawyers out our on pockets.
I got 8 more months till retirement then FUCK this job. God help the people of this city if we get another democrat mayor.

Traffic Cameras:
Most in the city including the camera on City Island Ave have been only process & record 7AM Monday to 6PM Friday so all of the weekend maniacs, inner city youth and drunks from the bars don't get in trouble or VTLs.
Traffic Cameras are for people going to and from work who pay the tickets
If the Adams Family is next Mayor, City Council and Governor my family and I are out of here ASAP!

That's it word for word from a cop!

The City Island cop couldn’t have said it better. Let’s take just one issue that we are seeing a big uptick on over the past year. Illegal ATV/ dirt bike riders that swarm the city streets. Baltimore style.
Right now there is literally nothing the police can do. You can’t pull them over because they won’t stop and you can’t chase. That’s it. It’s over. It’s not the police looking the other way. Or being lazy. You just can’t chase for a traffic infraction. So these animals will continue to ride all over with immunity. This is not going to change with a new mayor. There is no reversing the damage this mayor has done.

Worse then that, the gangs are catching on and using this "free for all of color with impunity" to commit hit and run robbery.
Rob pedestrians, grocery stores, even stopping a couple truck drivers. Climb up right up into the cab windows while moving with guns. Just like in the Mad Max movies with Mel Gibson. They then spread out and flee, the cops wont chaise, spike strips or shoot back at them. (yes they open fire and do anything get away)

Most these crimes are not reported in the news, and when they are: ..No usable descriptions or ethnicity can be disclosed (that's racist banned narrative) making the bad guys more brazen & violent each day.

Like somebody said here on Queens Crap last year "they will be coming through the windows & fire escapes" and apparently that was no joke because that's coming. I had to drive all the way to Maine buy ammo, what a time consuming pain in the ass.

"Are you a communist"

Ask the actress Lisa Banes if she is a communist and against electric mopeds, scooters, and bicyclists.

But she can't say anything now since she was killed by a derelict on a moped or scooter, who drove through a red light, ran her over and left her to die without stopping and checking on her condition or calling an ambulance.

Bicyclists, electric moped riders electric scooter riders are cowards!! When they run over someone, they usually ride away. They don't give a damn if the person is seriously injured and/or dying.

They ALL should be registered, insured, take a road test, be licensed and have their pictures taken just like every driver who operates and own a motor vehicle.

Many bicyclists, moped riders, electric scooter riders don't want to bother because they want to get away with killing people and not suffer any consequences.
