What i hate about scooterists is they think are valentino rossi maxing it around a city circuit, but even on full throttle you can be easily outrun by a KFC chicken thats never seen the light of day.
Your vehicle sounds like it barely has the power of two wasps, but i'm sure under your helmet you are making big bike noises to try and masculate youself. Have an occasional glance at your reflection as you pass a shop window however and your manhood will shrivel like you've just jumped into the arctic sea, you look like mildred pushing a granny trolley up the post office counter, even more so when adoting the full aero tuck for that extra 0.5kph.
As has been stated already about the gutter being full of broken class, raised drain covers and tramps, avoiding it also always buys an few extra seconds of reaction time to avoid suicidal lemming peds who are being hypnotised by their phones into ignoring their fully functioning neck and throwing themselves out into the traffic every minute of every day.
Lets all share the lane and all go home happy, though of course you'll be late due to those pesky cylists mwahahaha.
