All of these things happen in the US too. This country is massive and incredibly varied.

Shitty rich people have sued most public schools into absurd levels of restriction. Its a nightmare when idiots are allowed to pay to be told they are legally correct by another idiot in a black robe.

I haven’t seen them cutting anyone off, mostly playing on the sides of 2 lane roads with traffic or on 3 lane median roads during low traffic.
Did see a group of kids on the e-mopeds in China doing wheelies, I have no idea how you wheelie a bike without a clutch, and some kids flying up hiking trails like it was nothing in vn. It’s kinda shocking how skilled some of them are.

They’re becoming a massive problem in the Netherlands.
