My 16 year old daughter wants a motor scooter, and I have typical middle-ager's worries about its safety. She is a competent bicyclist and will have (auto) driver's license within about a month. I am an experienced bicyclist, but have never owned a motorcycle or scooter. Are these things reasonably safe transportation? She is especially interested in a Vespa--any comments on this?
