Isn't that kind of driving the whole purpose of buying scooters in the city? Getting from A to B quick, when the cars are stuck in a que...

They are not simply getting through traffic quickly. They are been wreckless and unsafe. It might be a laugh to some watching this, but in real life they could cause an accident to there self or others, and I hope its thereselfs. They crashed into each other a couple of times in the video and doing late braking at the traffic lights, what if someone was walking across and they hit that person?

There not skilled, there showing off for the camra and infront of each other. How many cars have been scratch dented or damaged by them is probably unknown but it has to of happened with that behavior.

So I guess the majority of the drivers of the car vids that we here at JW enjoy should all die too according to your logic?

Looks like alot of fun, dangerous like s*it thou.
Personally I hate when the bikers try to sneak between the cars cause you cant see them soon enough if they dont have loud exhausts so you try to avoid them scratch you or have to brake to let them go. Messengers on scooters are driving pretty safe here.
