Moped regulations in South Carolina are way overdue
Kudos to state Sen. Greg Hembree for sponsoring the moped bill, and shame on Gov. Nikki Haley for vetoing it.
I often times have come up upon a moped doing 30 mph in a 50 mph zone and have nearly collided with them. They are very difficult to see, especially at night.
No rules on DUI? How stupid.
People older than 18 should decide for themselves what they should wear for safety? Haley doesn't get it. People of all ages are required to wear seat belts.
It would be a terrible situation if Haley's limo driver came upon a drunk moped driver and hit and killed him. How would she feel then?
She needs to wake up and exercise common sense. Hembree has hit the nail on the head with the moped issue, and we need more proactive representatives like him to make South Carolina a better and safer state.
