Scooter kids!
 

One question, what is wrong with them?

I had a couple following me up the A329 through Winnersh this morning, in their trackies and hoodies, helmet but no gloves.

They were riding so close they may well have been sat on the pillion seat. Traffic was moving at a steady 35mph on a 40mph road and they are behind me trying to get past by going the wrong side of the traffic islands but their scooters don't have enough poke, especially as they are already do 35mph.

Then (this is the good bit) one of them tries to undertake me but doesn't realise that the line of traffic including myself have moved over to go round a parked car transporter sat outside the Mitsubishi garage, he clips the front passenger side (as it was parked facing traffic), wobbles like f*&k and carries on. He eventually filtered past at a set of light narrowly missing a pedestrian, then steaming of doesn't notice the car pulling out of the junction which the car in front has stopped to let out and narrowly misses the back end of this car.

The speed limit changes to 50mph and everyone filters back past him after all that.

Don't worry Darwin will sort him and his mates out one day.
The alternative is next year he will be the **** up your **** in a Corsa/Astra/chavtastic car

Until August we lived in a Cul-de-sac, pretty much have lived in one my whole life until mid august when we moved into a new residential development and we're right at the entrance to it... I now hate scooter boys for a whole new reason, I honestly dont understand why they do so many small journeys. They'll come past on their way out of the estate, then 10/15mins later come back in again. Even if they're only riding 2mins out of the estate they're still only spending 11minutes at their destination... I simply dont understand it.

Natural selection will take its coarse, hopefully.

You'd hope so but I regularly come across the four-wheeled version between Wycombe and Bracknell on my commute. This idiot drives a Fiat 500 and just like underpowered scooter boys uses the wrong lane to jump the queue, cuts people up, tailgates and shows all of the other Small Man Syndrome traits. As soon as we get onto the main A404 or M4 though he sits at 60mph and we all pass him, waving our appreciation with a small percentage of our fingers! White Fiat 500 reg number N500ERO - watch out for it!!

They're 16, invincible and know it all, who are we to judge their superior skills:rolleyes:

Driving a fiat 500 he's obviously just upset that his special friend rupert has been playing away again and given him the clap.

I don't give them a inch on the commute (the buses don't either).
I've had them force their way past flat out, then I've passed them filtering 30 seconds later
