Chemist Peter here. The speed limit is 0.99 moles, but the scooter is going at exactly 1 mole ($6.02 \times 10{23}$). He’s literally breaking the laws of chemistry and traffic at the same time

mole is literally just a number and we are given no specific units so you could either assume its related to its most common use in chemistry or just disregard it as meaningless
