Driving in Kaohsiung

This is a video made by Vickie Snyder. She is riding through the streets of Kaohsiung on her scooter. This is a good video, especially for people not living in Taiwan to demonstrate how crazy riding a motorbike here is. This video is tame actually. Every day driving in Taiwan makes me crazier and crazier. I’m not at full-on road rage yet, but I have a road ‘tourett’s syndrome’ thing going on. I just curse like a lunatic whenever somebody cuts me off or does something stupid. Needless to say, I find myself cursing like a madman every trip I make.


Looks like you are going over the speed limit. Traffic in Taiwan is a mess, but people in Taiwan are used to it.
