    This is only one of many who will be injurred or killed. I am sick of the reckless driving of these youths on these scooters not to mention the excessive noise from these scooters all through the day and night. If they cant be monitored they need to be banned,

    Wait Wait with only one man standing to tell the tale we really know who hit who. Come on, i have seen these cars coming home in the morning cant keep there side. And dont talk about by the so called junk yard everybody comes around that corner on the other side of the road. Folks we need to look in to this further before we talk.. I know there is a lot of reckless driving on both end and we need to find out what happen before jumping to conclusions ... DS

      I past the incident after it had happened, the car was way too the left heading towrds town, the rider clearly came round the corner on the wrong side of the road and hit the car. The damage to the car was pretty bad so the rider is lucky to even be alive in my opinion. The markings on the road are still there for those sickos that want to do their own investigations. I want to see new laws regarding these scooters, they are a menace to other drivers, pedestrians, residents and themselves. We need these riders to have passed a test before getting on the road, helmets on their heads properly, abiding of the road laws and the noise turned down. There is no need for them to have these noisy mufflers disturbing everyone at all hours of the day and night.

      Well if I had a family member that was a BIRD BRAIN coming around a corner on the WRONG SIDE and would be bawling to I guess........but why feel sorry.....people do drive like idiots but the scooter riders win this battle because it look like if they aint driving like an ARSE they don't feel like they riding....so instead of being online trying to convice the general public to feel compassion why dont you go help PEAL HIS SKIN of the pavement and put it back on.......a young man die a few months ago and yet the youths aint learn....obviously the police don't care well except for SUPER COP and when he do his job and stop you morons you guys say he harrassing you....well then let the IDIOTS KILL THEMSELVES less NUMBSKULLS in the world....
