I hope the Oak Bluffs selectmen work to end moped rentals. We were once hit by a moped while driving in Chilmark. An out of control driver veered over the double yellow lines, and landed on the car hood. Thankfully, everyone (but the car) was okay because we were able to slow down significantly to dull the impact. What what if we hadn’t slowed or did not have the latest safety features in our car? As recent experience has shown, it could have been much worse.

Banning moped rentals is an important step toward safety for residents and guests alike.
