Aren't you required to have a license to drive a scooter? Well either way, IMO, scooters and motorbikes aren't supposed to use the 'zebra' as if they were bicycles. And what's with these scooter and motorbike drivers? They drive as if they own the road, and all other motorists on more than 2 wheels owe it to them, and as if their "Evel Knievel" antics will not get them hurt or worse, killed.

I don't know if the AE92 driver doesn't know but Congressional-Mindanao is a NO LEFT TURN INTERSECTION. Ironically, the u-turn slot is less than 500 meters away.
Serves him right. That intersection is not lacking in traffic signages. I've seen Public and Private vehicles execute that turn, but not in the early evening, rather in the late hours when there are few vehicles. I'm not condoning it, but at least fewer people would be affected or endangered by this blatant disregard for the rules.
