I was trying not to overwhelm both of us but I like your take on it.:)

My brother is a bus driver now. So he goes on small walks just to get exercise. The scooter came in handy when his car broke down and he had to leave it at work. I worry for his safety when he finishes work after dark.

It is one thing for someone to almost run me over with their car. But it is quite another to give me a look like I'm some crazy pedestrian?.
