I am a failure at driving a scooter. I found this somewhat disheartening because I was so sure I'd be able to do it and that it would be fun. But alas. Our guide, Jackie, took me first on the bike to try to learn. I tried my best, but we kept veering towards the ditch. I always braked in time, so I didn't hit anyone or anything. But by the time I figured out what I was doing wrong, it was too late, my chance was over. Jackie proclaimed "Scooter is too dangerous. Bicycles" and he drove me back. I know now that I was overcompensating. When I started to get off course I would try to correct by shifting my body to the left or right, instead of turning the wheel. I truly think that if I had another few minutes to practice I would have gotten the hang of it. Really. But instead, I was labelled as an unsafe scooter driver. CN
