I followed my boy the other day and he did it a couple of times, I pulled him over and gave him a stern talking to. In his defence, he did come off on a roundabout just before Christmas and said he felt more confident as he could judge how far over his bike (scooter) was. My response was "Do it properly but slower until you build that confidence back up..."

In essence, it would be "A" in your poll....

Someone on a scooter pulled up next me at the lights the other day.....blipping throttle like a real bike.....gave it some more thinking he looked cool....Till he let go of brake and it threw him off....Oh how i laughed, whilst looking in my mirrors at him wriggling on the floor He did get up before out of view though.
