Riding daily in the City of Melbourne during peak hour traffic is bad enough when you've got drivers not paying attention, but what I now consider much worse is the careless frakin scooter riders that have ZERO respect for cars, pedestrians and even us.
In the past three weeks I've had two nearly side swipe me and another one cut me off while splitting lanes. Then there's the ones that sit right up your ass in heavy traffic treating you as a personal battering ram that clears a path for them.
Just the other week on the news I heard of a scooter rider causing life threatening head injuries to a 6yo boy running into him while riding on the footpath, and others also had to jump out of his way.
HOW F@#KED UP IS THAT!!!!!!!
The next one that comes near me and causes even the slightest amount of extra danger to myself is going to wish they'd stayed home that day.
