Is It Safe to Rent Scooters While on Vacation?

Motorized scooters are a fun and popular way for tourists to get around while on vacation, but they can also present a serious danger. Many of the tourists appear to have no idea how to operate the vehicles, as shown in numerous videos posted online. In one video, a couple appeared to be enjoying their ride in the Dominican Republic when they suddenly collide with another driver. Dan Leveille and Brianne Fournier, of Ontario, Canada, posted the video online to warn people about scooter dangers.
