That looks like Arabic script above the swastika and on the sign behind the scooter so maybe the jerk lives in a country where he can get away with it?

That was my thought as well... The Swastika wasn't invented by the Nazis, it was stolen by them. It's was a positive symbol going far back in history in many cultures until the Nazis changed it's meaning to most of the world... (The word itself comes from the Sanskrit word for "Good")

Now having said all that, a while back I was at a festival and saw some future Einstein running around shirtless with a large Wehrmacht eagle with a swastika tattoo across his back... Kid couldn't have been more than 20 years old...  :(

Sanskrit is Hindu, different script.

Right, not talking about the writing on the windshield in the pic, I was referring to the ancient history of the swastika itself, sorry I wasn't more clear on that...

Sometimes the swastika is reversed. Could be that the rider sees the reverse when in motion so it's a good luck symbol?

the swastika in those colors says it all. the writing is Farsi so id bet this is in Palestine as an anti Israeli commentary.

Native American swastikas are all over my town... but as Britman says, they are all reversed.  :-X
