    Some of those riders were driving like they must've been former sportbike owners that haven't changed modes yet, or just retarded. Sorry Charlie, scooters don't handle like a rocket, lol.

    God damn and people get mad when we pass on a straight double yellow, these fuckers just shoot over from the right to make a left hand turn like they own the road.

    In my experiences in Taiwan and So. Korea, no one fucking looks before they go. I'm not exaggerating. It was terrifying to ride in a cab.

    Yeah I dare say half of the wrecks are from those people just plain sucking at riding. Very entertaining though good find

    Some of those were intentional, on the car driver.

    Re: Scooters are dangerous!

    Things learned from this video:

    1. (some areas of) European / Asian scooter and motorcycle riders are nuts.

    2. Clearly a primary reason for these accidents are because the laws allow them to behave ridiculously in traffic comparative to here (that's not just lane splitting - that's lane reckless presumption of right of way)

    3. I'm never, ever, ever - even if I win the powerball and need to blow money randomly - riding a motorcycle, scooter, or any two wheeled vehicle anywhere these were filmed.

    I'll stick to the the non-Mediterranean areas of Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Hawai'i, Alaska, and the good 'ol Continental USA thank you!
    ...Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
