That's why many teenagers drive scooters around here.

You can get a scooter licence from a younger age than car or motorbike. You don't need to pass a test to be out on one, by yourself. Lower cost to buy and run.

And isn't that a police officer in the hat and vest you see after the scooter goes down? Shouldn't he have been doing something?
