Video shows scooter rider hitting nearly 150 km/h in Zagreb, overtaking cars

An alarming video circulating on social media depicts an individual riding an electric scooter at extreme speeds through Zagreb, weaving between cars and overtaking them. The footage shows the scooter's display reaching speeds exceeding 140 kilometers per hour, a speed far beyond safe limits for such devices, especially in mixed traffic.

The video has generated significant public concern, prompting a citizen to contact the media. This individual claims to have previously reported the same social media profile to the police, alleging that the rider has a history of posting videos of risky scooter rides on Zagreb's roads. The latest video, believed to have been filmed on a major Zagreb thoroughfare, highlights a pattern of dangerous behavior.

Adding to the worry are the comments accompanying the videos. The rider reportedly engages in online discussions, boasting about the scooter's capabilities, including a claimed acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. The rider also allegedly claims to be evading police. The citizen who reported the incident expressed fear that such content could inspire young and underage viewers to attempt similar dangerous stunts for online validation, especially given recent tragic accidents involving young people on scooters.

I am contacting you to draw attention to extremely dangerous content circulating on social media, which poses a direct threat to human lives on public roads.
