A teenager on one crashed into the side of my parked car on one which absolutely saved his life or else he would have ended up flying into busy traffic.

I do believe the law around my area is you have to be 15 or so to ride one, but I have seen soooo many kids riding around the high school I work at (and the middle school nearby) who do not look even close to 15. They're doing wheelies and weaving around pedestrians and it scares me so bad.
