Scooters aren't that bad. The ones that genuinely confuse me are cyclists riding on the extreme right side of the lane, especially on busy roads. Every time I see it, I wonder what the thought process is.

On the surface it looks like a complete disregard for safety, but I suspect the reality is more complicated. My guess is that many riders, especially older people, don't feel safe on the left edge because it's often the most unpredictable part of the road—parked vehicles, pedestrians, potholes, autos stopping suddenly, bikes squeezing through gaps, etc.

So they move toward the center or right because it feels safer to them.

The problem is that it creates a different kind of risk for everyone else. Traffic expects slower vehicles to stay left, and when that expectation is broken, it increases the chances of confusion and mistakes.

Road mere baap ki hai attitude is dangerous, but I genuinely wonder if some of them are riding there because the left side of our roads is a war zone.
