I am seeing more and more younger children on various motorized scooters and other vehicles.
When I first started seeing them I cringed but now I am getting over it. I'm pleasantly surprised in this area as even the little kids on scooters seem to be situationally aware.
As a courtesy I have developed the 'muffled toot' on my horn when I come up behind them and they give a quick head turn, smile and pay attention to staying on the side of the road.
I do still change course to steerageway and change course a bit but I can at least relax a bit because the kids are pretty damned good about playing by the rules.
It's generally the adults that get the angry blast of the horn because a number of them walk around with their head up their asses.
The locomotive horn is reserved for adult bicyclists that don't pay attention.
