Title: Size isn't everything! Post by philthymike on 03/29/17 at 09:41:53 https://youtu.be/LepCxIBJusU I'm NOT saying this is cool. Nobody should ever try this at home. I couldn't help but to admire the reflexes of the rider though. |

Title: Re: Size isn't everything! Post by Dave on 03/29/17 at 10:08:10 A day in the life of a Scooter Squid! Wonder if he can survive a week driving like that....or if it was done just for a single video? |

Title: Re: Size isn't everything! Post by LANCER on 03/29/17 at 11:29:35 That is normal driving in SE Asia and the Philippians. It is amazing that half of the population is not killed in auto crashes each year. |

Title: Re: Size isn't everything! Post by jcstokes on 03/29/17 at 22:17:49 In those countries, there probably aren't a lot of laws. It's got to do with increasing prosperity for people in those countries, they buy a bike or scooter and they're off. Many years ago a similar situation applied here, when anyone could buy a bike and go off. Teenaged men brought 500-660cc British bikes on time payment, in theory you need a helmet over 30mph, learners weren't supposed to ride over 30 mph. Most survived, some were dead a few hundred yards from the dealership. |

Title: Re: Size isn't everything! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 03/30/17 at 04:15:18 some were dead a few hundred yards from the dealership. Hopefully someone would get that cleaned up quickly enough to not affect sales. |

Title: Re: Size isn't everything! Post by Dave on 03/30/17 at 05:36:41 I am so thankful that I don't have to drive in that environment! I have watched a lot of the Asian Scooter crash videos on YouTube. Some of it is for entertainment (sick.....I know) - but it also provides me with some understanding of what to watch for when I am out riding. The majority of the crashes appear to be a result of the riders going much faster than the surrounding traffic, and being obscured/hidden from the folks making turns. A driver who wants to make a turn makes a judgement based on the traffic that is visible....they can't see the speeding scooter hidden behind the other cars - and the scooter rider is going far too fast to be able to stop. It also appears that a lot of the scooter riders don't know how to use a front brake properly....and they lock up the brake and fall down instantly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mFkDJ0rpWA [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mFkDJ0rpWA[/media] |

Title: Re: Size isn't everything! Post by philthymike on 03/30/17 at 07:29:51 On a business trip to Brazil I had the opportunity to drive a little Fiat hatchback around the city of Belo Horizonte. I was not cut out for the driving style there at all. After roughly ten blocks I pulled over and let the car's owner drive again. It was too much for me. |
