    Was driving down a country road today, perfectly straight and flat for about 5kms. Speed limit 70km/h. So I was driving there and in the distance on the other lane I saw two scooters approaching me, driving side by side on the same lane, seemed to be quite fast (considering their vehicles). So i thought "wow, that's dangerous, no room at all for them at their speed". Then when they got closer they started grabbing and punching each other! One of them started to slide when the other one hit him, and I was already standing at my brakes, fortunately he could recover his balance... I mean, seriously, wtf?! Punching each other going 70km/h on scooters with traffic around? They could not only easily have killed each other, they could have killed me or anyone else driving there. If I was a bit older I'd ask now what's up with those kids today... f***** idiots...

    Back in the late 80's when I was a senior, there was this kid I knew. He drove a scooter to school. We warned him about his driving. He didn't make it to graduation.

    And keep in mind, 'his friends' (myself included), had some hellacious muscle cars. So sad.

    I was driving on the freeway the other day, doing ~75mph in medium density traffic. Passed by a motorcyclist doing a continuous wheelie for several miles, zig-zagging between cars & lanes @ 85+ mph. Darn close to vertical, I guess I should call him a unicyclist.

    I'm guessing he'll be lucky to reach his 30th birthday. :eek:

    I hate people who do that. Seriously, it annoys the hell out of me, esp. when they have to drive between me and another car at 80Mph. And the worst part is we can't do a thing about in our cars without causing ourself trouble. :mad:

    I always enjoy seeing a good wheelie. :D

    This scooter craze kind of scares me. They just look so unsafe. Even compared to normal motorcycles. A few weeks ago I swear I saw a dad driving a scooter, with a kid sitting in front of him.
