Although they maneuver and fit in places that a bicycle can – vespas and scooters can not legally travel in the same places as bicycles do on roadways. Seattle Municipal Code 11.53.190 provides one exception: vespas and scooters may enter a bike lane only when maneuvering a turn, and only after first yielding to bicyclists.
Which Insurance Covers the Collision?
If you are injured by a car while driving a vespa, you can get your medical bills paid by the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance on the other vehicle. If they do not have PIP, and you do, then your PIP will cover the bills.
The rest of your claim, including your pain and suffering (general damages), will either be paid by the Liability coverage on the other vehicle or by your Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage.
