Because you think others on the sidewalk are obligated to yield
the right of way to you?

Only if they don't want to be run over.

Normal courtesy say you let people going faster than you to pass.

Nice attitude. And you wonder why pedestrians get annoyed at
you?

I have a tendency to be rude right back to people who are rude to me.

Life's too short to put up with assholes.

Maybe your scooter is just too quiet, like the electric car this thread
started all about ;-) You need a miata sound track that you can rev!

Or a louder beeper. This is something that people who use scooters and
powerchairs have griped about for years, the beeper really isn't loud
enough to alert people, they use a very small electronic critter, it's
not nearly as loud as the ringtone of a cellphone.

I lean toward dual Fiams but there's a VERY limited space unless I
stick 'em outside somewhere and there are very few 24V options.

For a decent upper-body workout, try a bull roarer. Also
self-reinforcing if they don't move.

Or, Google "blaster horn." Some are mouth-blown, some are rechargeable,
some use canned air, some are little party favors. We used to carry the
small Freon variety as bear repellent when fishing in Alaska; said to be
more effective than pepper spray.

Hey, *there's* an idea: pepper spray...

Bear Pepper Spray; guaranteed to clear all sidewalk assholes out of your
way or your money back!
