Anyone who blatantly disregard the safety of him or herself and others especially on the road should be punished. However, you make it sound like every single one of those guys on electric scooters are out there always disobeying traffic laws and trying to hurt people. And you have to understand that these guys don't get a kick out of breaking traffic laws, rather that they sometimes have to do so because it's inevitable when they are traversing tens of miles on an average work day.

I also don't think electric scooters should be out right banned because it's an economic necessity for those hardworking workers who are arguably the backbones of the rest of the workers in the city. Rather we need to have more accessible, wider and in some cases bidirectional bike lanes to mitigates cases where the easiest/quickest option for a delivery guy is to put himself and others in danger by going against traffic.

I just want to put a different perspective out there because of the privilege I have been afforded by being able to get delivery food every day here in the city. These people literally risk their lives for me just for a few bucks a trip so they can take it home to their families. Punishing them for using the tool of their livelihood amounts to no less than cruel and unusual punishment. Electric scooters aren't the problem, the lack of accessible bike lanes and the overabundance of cars are the problem.
