I give you this.. the fact that to ride a scooter/motorcycle you have to of passed a basic road safety test means he must have at least two brain cells in there ... perhaps they melted in the heat ?

Anyone else seen any out right stupidity due to the heat ?

Just stupid. If he hits the floor it’ll be like skidding along a cheese grater.

Motorcyclist here. He is really stupid but, sadly, he won't be the only one who thinks his soft tissues can survive a fall.

someone posted a pic somewhere of a guy riding a bicycle in the nip ,thats something you dont see everyday

Nearly as stupid as taking photos on your phone whilst you’re driving. He’s only hurting himself if he comes off whilst you’re likely to wipe out some innocent person. Who is the idiot here.

A friend once posted a photo on Facebook of a man whose leg had been “degloved” when he came off a motorbike in shorts. I have never got the image out of my mind 😩

OP appears to be in stationary traffic, and could have been in the passenger seat to take that pic. And it seems to be beyond your comprehension that a motorbike can go anywhere, including oncoming traffic, if the rider loses control and drops it, which generally only happens at speed.

A motorcyclist (on a small trail bike with a very noisy engine) went past me earlier. It was the centre of town and about to be a 40mph dual carriageway, and he wasn’t wearing a helmet.

It's quite obvious they were due to the angle the photo was taken from.

Ffs. Ukrainian refugees car . As in a left hand drive hence the angle of the photo from the 'drivers side' . Sometimes perhaps try thinking before posting and asking yourself 'why am I being a knob to someone who has posted a lighthearted photo of a daft teenager' .. you might need to do a bit of mindfulness and stop trying to be deliberately unpleasant. ?
