They have become extremely common with the kids in my area. So much so that tickets and confiscation are happening regularly along with accidents.
Kids hanging out in groups of 20 or more, taking over the local McDonalds a'la The Wild One. Running red lights, wheelies down the street, dodging in and out of traffic, riding on opposite side of the road, etc.
You really have to watch out pulling out of parking lots, they zip by at 35 mph heading the wrong direction on the sidewalk.
I'm all for kids being kids and getting outside instead of gaming in a darkened room. But they need to get them educated on basic traffic laws and safety, maybe some type of insurance policy or parental responsibility when found at fault with property damage or injury to pedestrians.
