  Yup. Also, Vietnamese parents dropping off very little kids outside school mostly just plop them down on the pavement outside, say bye, and ride off.

  Boys on unplated electric scooters are a liability though, I’ve seen loads of them getting into crashes

      I’ve not seen that in Spain … mostly there we have kids on fold-up type scooters on the pavements, they aren’t in the middle of 4 lanes of traffic cutting off cars

        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.

  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.
