INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - You may have seen video we first shared Wednesday, a man on a scooter hit by a truck that was pulling out of downtown parking garage.

The collision happened earlier this month, but now Mac Brown is suing the garage, driver and traffic officer.

We're told Brown, like many other riders, wasn't following the rules. He was on a sidewalk. City ordinance says you can only use on streets and bike lanes.

So far, the rules haven't been enforced, drawing a lot of complaints. That's about to change.

Fines are $20 for a first offense and $20 for a second. That's for the riders.

The scooter companies will also face fines for scooters parked illegally, in driveways or on right-of-way.

Based on what we've seen, the city could take in some decent money.

We stood along East Washington Street near Delaware for half an hour and saw dozens of scooters go by, and all but one buzzed by where they're not allowed, on the sidewalk and Cultural Trail.

"Yeah, he's not supposed to be on the sidewalk. Unfortunately not everyone is aware of that," said IMPD Lt. Michael Wolley.

But Wolley says they likely will be, as police start enforcing the rules. He said an internal bulletin sent to officers last week gives them the go-ahead to start issuing citations.
