    Despite seeing many of their fellow scooter riders killed or seriously injured on these bike, many blindly continue driving reckless on their way to the grave yard or hospital.

    It's as if they have no capacity to learn. Who don't hear will feel. This will go on and on until they all figure it out.

    Saw a scooter rider the other day doing a wheely. Sad to say, I would not feel sorry for him if he had crashed. I will not waste my sympathy on them doing foolishness.

    To the writers at vino here’s a tip. Save this article as a template. Just nightlight the date. Next week all you need to do is change the date. Save templates for each of the usual spots where these morons pull their stunts. Job done.

    @David Ban all scooters isn’t the answer, enforcing the law is the answer, I have seen scooter riders do things in front of cops and the cop just look the other way. The police department needs to set up a team of arm police to deal with the scooter riders because I have herd said many times that the cops are afraid to deal with them because most of scooter law barkers are armed. There are some riders that stay within the law, I see some of them wearing helmets and riding with caution, why sho those riders be punished because of the law barkers?
