On The Bad Bunzlauer a photo of a young scooter rider near the viaduct in the City of Ceramics appeared. The author accompanied it with a humorous yet malicious comment:
The dude on his scooter – properly wearing a helmet. Granted, riding against traffic on the “national road”, but you can’t expect everything from young people 😁
And then added:
Let’s enjoy the little things.
Indeed. Since June 3, 2026, new regulations concerning the safety of the youngest road users have been in force. Children and young people under 16 who ride bicycles, electric scooters or personal transport devices will be required to wear protective helmets. The aim of the changes is to reduce the number of serious head injuries and improve safety on roads, cycle paths and in public spaces. More on this subject in the material: An important change from today. Helmets mandatory on bicycles and scooters.
The photograph reignited the discussion about young road pirates on the roads of Bolesławiec.
Unfortunately, the subject is not new. Let us recall. On April 19, we quoted a post from The Bad Bunzlauer:
There used to be gangs: rockers on Harleys, mods on scooters. In the age of TikTok..., I don’t know, maybe scootsters, scooterists?
The recording shows a group of children riding scooters across virtually the entire width of the lane. At one point, one of them – with complete nonchalance – crosses the double solid line and moves into the opposite lane.
A forum user left a pointed comment beneath the recording:
I also have a recording of these boys’ antics; they rode in front of cars, attacked drivers who pointed it out, and kicked cars. I have photos and recordings; if the injured person is reading this, please contact me privately. The report will also be sent to the police, because it is not normal for children aged 8–15 to kick cars and ride in front of vehicles in the city center.
In fact, we covered the subject much earlier. In September last year, we wrote that we received two reports about the same issue in one day. The first Reader:
Please address the issue of the group of young people on bicycles and scooters. They gathered on the lawn by Asnyka Street, where there used to be a ceramic fountain, and then headed down the city toward the Market Square at high speed. The incident took place at about 6 p.m.
And commented:
Because of groups of young thugs “terrorizing” pedestrians on the sidewalks, it is frightening to leave the house.
He also added:
I am a fit person, but what are older people supposed to do when, because of health limitations, they are unable to get out of the way of a speeding scooter or bicycle.
At the front of the group rode a young man who used a horn, and thanks to that nobody was injured.
The Reader noted that he had spoken about it with a female police officer, but she was reportedly busy with another intervention at the time.
About 1.5 hours later, another Readerwrote to us:
This is how our young people have fun.
And sent us the following video:
As we reported at the end of Aprilhttps://istotne.pl/wiadomosc/63035, the police are dealing with the case of scooter users “terrorizing” drivers. We will return to the subject.
