Delivery motorcycles are a major crisis

I have come to the conclusion that with all the home food delivery motorcycles on the road, we have a crisis.

They don’t ride in one lane or the other, instead they sit on the line dividing the two lanes. You cannot go either side of them as they want both lanes.
They squeeze in between cars with the huge food containers on the luggage rack and push out cars to get to the front.

One such motorcyclist was in front of me and made it difficult for me to get into either lanes. I hooted and told him to choose a lane, but he refused. So I went on the outside of him to claim just one lane. He wasn’t having it and actually scratched my car as I moved forward.

When will our traffic cops pull these bikes over when they ride recklessly between cars? How many of these riders have hit your car?

Those boxes on the bikes are big, and they insist on getting to the front even if they block both lanes. I have installed a dash cam, and I’m going to lay charges to these bikes scraping my car.

Please people, don’t let them take over our roads, they have no right to both lanes or to squeeze between cars.
