Re: Canadian Segway Driver Fined $8000

As quoted in the article:



"The outcome may help answer the question of exactly how to classify the Segway when it is introduced into Canada on a larger scale."

"But sales have not taken off, partly because of the confusion about where they should drive – on sidewalks or roads.

Late last month, New York City officials began meeting to sort out that very question.

As it stands, the Segway isn't allowed on most North American sidewalks, including those in Ontario."



I guarantee that a lot of people are interested in the outcome of this. Even though it's taking place in Canada the court's decision could have an impact on decisions made in the U.S. about the classification of the Segway.
