Haha saw that too , guess they had trouble finding someone to pull out in front of her when they didn't least expect it !

At least she was wearing gloves of some distription and a decent looking jacket...

Yes, it always amazes me to see so many Scooter riders toddling off to work each morning wearing nothing but a Helmet in terms of safety gear... pretty sure roadburn still packs a sting at 40km :rolleyes:

Yeah, rather distracting for the person being filmed, I woud think.

Just because someone does something stupid, doesn't make them 'stupid'. Labelling people like this is detrimental to society's self esteem, IMO.

Staged of course. TV has to sensationalise - even if it makes her look a bit of a dick! :cool:

Should still help scooter sales tho. :banana:

one thing it did do was show how much more economical/quicker a bike is over car/bus transport.

seems strange that it only cost $70.00 a year for rego for a scooter, when if you have a bike bigger than 50cc it costs like $160.00 for six months how is that fair???:no:
