Answer 11

Yes it is.

Cities are a lot smaller than the States here, distances are rather short (we don't have anything like the US wide spaces and roads over here...), the streets are regularly quite narrow, so a scooter is the best solution to drive easily within the traffic and reach places in a short time.

Yes, expecially in the alley / traffic
