I live in a semi-rural area, no sidewalks, and no curbs. Besides a sidewalk is no place for a mobility scooter that can go 13 mph.
I've even been attacked and bit by dogs while riding on the Olympic Discovery Trail.
I've had more problems from dogs than idiot drivers.
Untrained dogs often chase "prey" that "runs". That's why people should teach their children to *never* run away from a dog. Their instinct is to give chase.
Anyone that's ever had a dog has seen it chase after a rabbit or squirrel. Take that same rabbit or squirrel and place it next to the same dog and the dog would be more likely to lick it to death than try to eat it.
Seems we've gotten off-point with this discussion, though. There aren't many circumstances where one should feel the justifiable need to take down a dog. Crossing one's property line certainly isn't one of them.
