They'd really be awakened as to what "Get the F*&k out of the way, ya moron" really means...

Oui oui, but only if they could speak Froggy

My impression is, that driving (riding) in a style and speed, which "WE", find CONVENIENT at the time. IGNORING laws and rules which "WE", find INconvenient at the time, seems more to be the norm. Who among us have not ??? With two ton of armour,cage pilots can afford some flippancy in driving their practices.Is that stupid ???
