Build'em like 2 wheeled bumper cars... ;D... There's one guy in there,... loses control of his scoot in rain,.. ..and then jumps up off the ground like he just won a round... ;D... |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by Cavi Mike on 12/05/12 at 01:21:00 Wow it's amazing what people do in other countries - like turning from the wrong lane across traffic. Darwin needs to get to work in some of these areas. |

Mike, it's not "other countries", it's either S.Korea or China, most probably the latter. Certainly not Japan, they drive on the left. China has been enjoying an economic high for the last 15-20 years, I'm sure that they drove like that in the US in the 1920-30s... |

Quite often they are filmed on dash cameras. There seem to be a lot of those in Europe, particularly in Russia. |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by WD on 12/06/12 at 08:59:53 I saw Chinese, Russian, Korean and Vietnamese characters in those. Look up Saigon or Hanoi traffic on youtube some time... |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by Dave on 12/17/12 at 06:11:05 A large number of those crashes involved locking up the front wheel and going down when the front slid out from under them. I am going to post a link of this to the discussion on ABS.....a lot of these bikes sure could have used the ABS. |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by Dave on 01/30/13 at 09:13:44 Thats OK....It is worth watching again. I am surprised how aggressively they drive, and how many of the falls are a result of locking up the front wheel while trying to stop quickly. |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by MiCTLaN on 01/30/13 at 09:47:09 I like the one that crashed in front of an ambulance. That's convenient. |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by jcstokes on 01/30/13 at 10:00:38 Pescatori is right, these are countries that are new to the motor vehicle in general. They will improve their skills over a few generations. |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by martinfilms34 on 01/30/13 at 10:47:36 That's exactly how it is back in Colombia. Literally anybody can get a scooter. As long as you can put a cent down you're riding a scooter off the lot. That's why there is so many of them. People who can't afford cars buy scooters. You see some crazy things. Like families of four riding a scooter. Red light running. |

Title: Re: 100 scooter accidents Post by raydawg on 01/31/13 at 03:35:02 The guy stopped at the intersection who gets boned big time from the rear (in the rain) is a perfect example as to why you never quit looking behind you while stopped. I ride in the rain to work, and I'm first off the ferry. Often I get stopped at a light and the cagers catch up to me as they hurry to work....I constantly flash my brake light, and have it in gear until I know for certain they see me and will stop. Those accidents have lasting effects... deer and fool drivers, they will get me if I relax my guard |
