    I don’t know what your country is, but I’m talking about Australia, because we’re in !australia.

      Hah, that absolutely makes sense. They should block these country-specific things from main so they don’t show up for random weirdos! Cheers!

        Nothing wrong with foreigners showing up and even discussing what things are like in their country, IMO. Just gotta be aware that the default assumption is gonna be that we’re talking local.

        Fwiw, you’ll likely find helmets a lot more often here because we have mandatory helmet laws. Whether on a bike or an escooter, you can get in trouble for not wearing a helmet. As a law it sucks, but it has the convenient upside of meaning these scooters are basically required to have helmets available…when they don’t get stolen.
