They have no idea of safe riding, they ride about with their mates, overtaking cars on the left and the right. I'm always well careful overtaking them round here because they are liable to pull out without looking.
Mind you I can't talk, when I rode a moped 20 years ago there was no CBT, I just got on and rode, having no driving licence either nor had I bothered to read the highway code I'm surprised I wasn't killed on my first outing!!!!

Makes you wonder whether they are going to go on and ride bigger bikes when they are old enough, or will they stay ars***les at the age of seventeen and use their scooter riding "skills" in their souped up Corsa's, Saxo's etc

I really can't say that I was any better than them when I was that age, probably worse!. C'mon you were all young once. Not saying they are right, just the way it is.

*runs for the hills* :eek:
yesterday on my way home everyone was stopped to give way at v big v busy roundabout, didn't stop some geezer on a bike shooting out without even trying to slow down, he came down the middle of the two stopped lanes and shot off, how he made it I don't know, worse still were his two mates who were following him and also shot through without a thought to their or anyone else's safety
