Driving shenanigans in Taiwan

Driving in Taiwan looks... interesting. Also: I like the jazzy soundtrack.

actually, in Taiwan "good" driving is when you can go fast, so this guy isn't a very good driver.

he should have pointed out how left turns are made - there is a square at every major intersection that is made for scooters/bikes (you see it at 0:25 when he's talking about power rangers). To make a left, you would go straight and then pull into that square, and wait for the next light to change and go straight again.
It's counter-intuitive, but works really well in practice. That's only for scooters/motorcycles though. Cars just have to deal with making a regular left.

oh, and if you want to see the craziest display of multiple people + stuff on scooters, check out the Costco in Taipei right before Chinese New Years.

I took video when I was riding a bike through the streets of Shanghai. It's kinda bad though, I was just holding my camera near my chest. THAT was crazy too, shoulder to shoulder on bikes 20 ppl wide through an intersection. Good times.
