Segways in action
Caroline Fenimore, left, and Jennings Kilgore were among the Atlanta police officers testing the Segway, which can travel 15 miles on a single charge.
These cost about $9,000 each. Segways won't be available to consumers for another year. The average price is expected to be about $4,000.
Most are programmed to have a top speed of 12 mph.

How do you dodge cars, bullets, bottles or rocks on a Segway? Weeble? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
After all, weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

faster meter maids? in savannah they drive electric cars, which are definately faster than segways. if anything this seems to be a step backwards from just about anything besides walking. And do we really need more out of shape cops?
"You can have a Segway, but you've gotta do PT every morning before you go out on your beat."
1. Do you need an operator's license?
2. Do you need insurance?
3. Is this subject to the personal property tax?
4. How do you keep people from stealing it?
5. Where do you park it - in spots for motorcycles or in a regular car spot?
6. Can I drive it on the roads and do I have same rights/responsiblities as a car? Can I take it on a bike path?

Sounds like a project for my friend Stack and I. Oh, we'll have a 30mph Segway.
<strong>Hmm, How long will it take for Fox to have "The worlds scariest Segway chases" show? <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
LOL!
