Meanwhile six year olds in Japan take the train and/or subway to school all alone, 12 year olds in vietnam ride electric scooters on 60 kph roads to get to school, and I met a chinese 16 year old crossing vietnam by motorbike all by himself.

    I haven't seen them cutting anyone off, mostly playing on the sides of 2 lane roads with traffic or on 3 lane median roads during low traffic.

    Did see a group of kids on the e-mopeds in China doing wheelies, I have no idea how you wheelie a bike without a clutch, and some kids flying up hiking trails like it was nothing in vn. It's kinda shocking how skilled some of them are.

    I'm american lol no the fuck you don't see 6 year olds taking public transit by themselves. My nephew's school won't even let 11 year olds walk home by themselves.
