Title: BAD Driving scooter video (SYM scoots)
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on July 31, 2013, 10:23:27 PM

From the SYM forum.
My thoughts:
These SYM 'Symbas' might be too slow for this road?
Riders too far apart - forcing drivers to pass a rather long 2 scoot parade?
Riders not 'owning' their lane.
These fellows would be in trouble if they had to make swerves to avoid road hazards - the cars are just barely clearing them.
Very bad decisions by cars to pass with on-coming cars closing on them!

Timing for the speed they're traveling makes the scooter spacing actually look a little close.  2 second following distance is longer than most riders want to use and it's a longer distance the faster you're moving.   Maybe they are traveling too slow but that makes it easier for cars to pass.   The cars are definitely cutting the front rider off as they finish passing.

I though this was going to be a Snuff film for a moment.  Just waiting for the rear-ender. 


I don't care for roads like that.

Cant you ride side by side in the same lane there. You can here.

Riders did nothing wrong. But the red car...
Common in Europa.
At least the cagers really do think they would own the road and nevertheless don't kill the scooter-invaders on purpose.

And I thought all the bad drivers live in the U.S.A.
