They drive up the middle of the road with total disregard for anyone else but themselves. They drive at night with no lights 'cauze it cool.' They ride the curve of the road in the wrong lane. It's only a matter of time before a an innocent child or family is killed trying to avoid a scooter 'operator's total lack of respect for law and order!
