On Thursday, what appeared to be five members of the same family were travelling on two scooters on the Valldemossa road in Palma - two on one, three on the other.

I agree for the most part with Stan's sentiments below. However, you can't put the genie back in the bottle so since these scooters exist we have to devise measures to manage their use. First, I would ban them as rental vehicles since anyone with no training whatsoever can rent a scooter and hit the road. This is plainly ridiculous and potentially dangerous to the rider and to others. Second, for owners, I would license each scooter and issue fines for misuse just like any other motorised vehicle. Take these measures and we'll all be a lot safer.
These very dangerous vehicles and their very dangerous riders are an accident waiting to happen. It will take a very serious accident or death to occur before anything will be done to deal with them. No protective helmets or clothing. No Insurance. Driven at high speeds through crowded areas. BAN THEM!!!
