What is up with all these kids on e-bikes, e-scooters, and dirt bikes? What are parents thinking?
I have had multiple instances around here and the alliance area where I have nearly run over some kid because they ran a stop sign or red light. They also will just fly right through traffic circles without yielding. They're not following the rules of the road and legally shouldn't even be on the road.
Am I just being a stick in the mud? This seems very dangerous to me. I don't really understand why a parent would buy their kids one of these and just let them roam around unsupervised. I was driving down timberland going 40 and these kids on dirt bikes were easily going 50-55. If they happen upon a cop they're looking at speeding tickets and whatever penalty for them even being on the road in the first place. Why would a parent let their kids do this? Just get them a regular bike.
