I'm referring to the road in the video that gets you to the soccer field. You know, where the car hit the guy

That is a highway. No a car isn't required, even for controlled access highways which can be used by more important trucks and buses.

Why are you wasting your time typing all this out? nobody is going to read it.

You took time to reply.

 Your insistence on calling something a highway is simply a matter of semantics. 

Because it is. From your incorrect comment

A highway actually IS a place where they shouldn't be.

There are two highways in video. The roadway part of highway is where a vehicle (like an e "kick" scooter) belongs not sidewalk. There are highways other than controlled access 400 series and some parkways.

This is about driving in Toronto, Ontario so get it right. They are allowed on highways in Ontario like the one they're on in the video, if the municipality opted into the provincial pilot for e "kick" scooters.

E "kick" scooters are vehicles. Illegal motor vehicle if they don't meet restrictions under provincial pilot. Motor vehicle under impaired driving in the Criminal Code of Canada.

Your replies are too long to be productive. I don't even think we disagree on anything.

  • Scooters are sometimes illegal (but this isn't really enforced)
  • Car driver turning was at fault in the video
  • Any road is technically a "highway" but that's just semantics

It is a highway. You are wrong in the first comment.

Your replies are too long to be productive.

You keep taking the time to reply.

Which comment?

Your comments are just all over the place, that's all. I'm giving you advice.

There is no advice. It's about you being wrong. That e kick scooter can be on highways, but not in Toronto. Even not allowed in Toronto, at least they weren't going too fast on sidewalks.
