Monday scooterblogging
From the same shop where the mechanic told me his tale of woe.
The one in the front is a classic old Vespa. On the blue one in the background, notice the sticker with the red "L" on the fender. This signifies that particular scooter is driven by a messenger. Should you ever have the joy of driving in Central London, one of the things that may make you very nervous is the messenger-driven scooters that zip by you on the right, between you and the oncoming traffic. It made me very nervous about changing direction for fear that I would take out a messenger in the process.

I thought ther "L" meant it was driven by someone witha learners permit?
Yeah, I understand there's that usage too. The only reason I think the red L is for the messengers is that every messenger I see has the red plate on their scooter somewhere, including the guys who deliver pizza.
