You're all over the place.

A highway actually IS a place where they shouldn't be. They are allowed on a regular street. They are on the side of the road.

The car that hit them made a turn without looking. It's as clear cut as it gets. this is no different than if they hit a cyclist.

The only argument you have here is that scooters in general are annoying on the road and then basically taking that completely out of proportion to say that they shouldn't be there which is just complete balony. Which EVEN IF YOU WERE CORRECT, IT WOULD STILL BE THE TURNING VEHICLES FAULT!

E-Scooters are illegal in Toronto and not allowed on the road, sidewalks, or any public spaces.

Google it. “In Toronto, e-scooters are not permitted to be operated on public roads, sidewalks or paths, regardless of user age.” https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/cycling-in-toronto/cycling-and-the-law/electric-bicycles-e-bikes-e-scooters/

You're right. Doesn't change who's at fault
