There's a difference between avoiding traffic by using another form of transportation and avoiding traffic by being reckless. The latter is no better than the assholes who speed around traffic on the shoulder and try to sneak into the front of the line, and even if EVERYONE were on scooters, the other scooter drivers would hate the reckless ones too.

    I live in a place where absolutely everybody rides scooters, nobody cares about people using the shoulders to get around traffic, it only seems reckless if you're so car-brained you think everybody should be lowered to your level. Here drivers internationally leave room for us to filter by at stoplights, if they don't they're likely to get their car banged up.

    What people do have problems with is speeding in narrow allyways, you know behavior that represents danger to more than just car-brained driver's feelings.

    Even the animals ride scooters
