Xiaoyuer86 1st Gear December 2, 2014 Share December 2, 2014 There are a few things which you need to take note, especially in the cities. 1. There are several type of traffic light junction are. Those with 3 lights, 4 lights and 5 lights. 3 lights are pretty much like our Singapore one. Turn left and right as long as there is no oncoming traffic and pedestrian crossing respectively. 4 lights, you need to wait for the left turn green arrow. And lastly, 5 lights, where you need to wait for both the right and left turn arrow to turn. 2. Watch out for the scooters, they're everywhere and may not follow traffic rules. But most will siam your car because they know in any accident, they are at the losing end. 3. Parking in public car parks (those under the town/city council). There will be parking attendants going around in scooter putting slips of paper underneath your wiper. To pay, you just have to bring the paper to any convenience store and pay there. Super convenient. 4. Finally, i find that Taiwanese drivers are hell lot better than ours. Eg, if you turn out in an uncontrolled junction, oncoming traffic will simply slow down for you to complete the turn instead of horning you. I beg to differ on 2 and 4. Having live in Taiwan for more than a year, can always hear news of scooter trying to create fake accident for monetary claims. When accident happened involved car and scooter, liability is always greater for car regardless of who is right or wrong. Law in Taiwan incline towards protecting people on 2 wheels. Traffic rules? Don't believe in that. Everyday I see cars beating red light and sometimes driving against traffic. If you love to beat red light, you would love this place. On Taiwanese drivers are hell lot better than ours. Just want to share a piece of news from today. 窄巷互不讓道 斧頭哥砍人劈車http://www.appledaily.com.tw/realtimenews/article/local/20141202/517103 Although road rage also happen in Singapore, I would say the road rage here is more bloody and exciting.. Remember not long ago, there is this hogging accident which ended with one of the car being forced to plunge out from the highway into a river below killing the driver and passenger.. All being said, none of the above has happened to me so far (touchwood), other than the first company car was stolen. I would say is quite safe and enjoyable to drive around in Taiwan (taking traffic jam out of consideration). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say is quite safe and enjoyable to drive around in Taiwan (taking traffic jam out of consideration). IMO, i think it's also because of the tendency for drivers and motorcyclist to break traffic rules, everyone tend to be more aware of your surrounding. It's not necessarily a bad thing if you look at it. In Singapore, everything is law by law, and drivers expect all other road users to know the rules and regulations (which isn't always the case), therefore, we tend to let our guard down here and drive less defensively. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
