There’s a video doing the rounds of a mob of kids on e-bikes and electric dirt bikes blocking Wurundjeri Way at Docklands on Anzac Day. If you haven’t seen it, imagine a swarm of unregistered two-wheelers filling a major road, some pulling wheelies, most wearing balaclavas, and essentially doing whatever they please with zero regard for anyone else around them. The comments online have been… predictably chaotic.

Here’s the thing though — I’ve been sitting with this one for a bit, because my gut reaction pulled me in two directions at once.

There’s a special circle of hell reserved for drivers who cruise along at 80km/h in a 100 zone, only to suddenly discover their accelerator the moment an overtaking lane appears. And judging by the avalanche of comments I’ve been reading online, I’m far from alone in this frustration.

Look, I get it. We all have different comfort levels when driving. Some people are naturally more cautious, and that’s fine. But what baffles me – genuinely baffles me – is the complete lack of awareness these drivers seem to have about their impact on everyone else around them.
