LimeBike guy crosses 5 lanes of Texas freeway traffic in 15 seconds on electric scooter

It really is amazing how stupid some people are.

Yes, that dude on the e-scooter is nonchalantly crossing five, count ’em, 5 lanes of traffic on I-35 in Dallas.

Josh Weatherl‘s car dashcam shot this incredible footage of a complete idiot zooming through freeway traffic on a LimeBike e-scooter.

“Bro! What are you doing?!” says Weatherl as he drives.

“Oh my gosh, that is the most wild thing I have ever seen,” laughs the motorist as he watches the scooter guy.

“How did he get on here?!”

The footage was recorded shortly before 9AM local time, and shows the scooter guy wearing a backpack and exiting south of the Dallas North Tollway exit.

From the Dallas News:

Dallas’ dockless vehicle ordinance does not prohibit scooters from being operated on the interstate, but the city’s website says they can be used on streets where the speed limit is 35 mph or lower. (The scooters are banned from sidewalks in downtown Dallas, Deep Ellum and the Cedars, as well as the Katy Trail.)

A measure sponsored by state Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, that would’ve banned scooters from the Texas’ highways, among other regulations, failed to get a vote on the House floor in the recent legislative session.
