Yes and the thing is, most everyone is on a bike, not in a car.
Bikes respond (much) faster than a car.
I have been told, to be very careful of cars and especially busses.
Those are different. Dangerous. ALWAYS yield to them, and keep a safe distance always.
This year there are many more cars than there were even two years ago. The cars get bollixed up in traffic jams and the scoots just ride around them and keep going. Once upon a time the cars were categorically dangerous. That was when cars were all foreign diplomats and government officials. Now they are almost all ex scooter drivers and they fit into the traffic smoothly and safely, except for the part where they get frozen up and can’t move for 20 minutes. Even the buses have gotten easier to deal with. What helps is there is nothing like road rage. There is no competition. No one cuts anyone off or runs up past someone else just to be ahead of someone. The showoffs do it by gutting their mufflers and making their little scoots sound like there is something terribly wrong in the motor. Most scoots are very quiet.
