A bus driver in Taiwan demonstrated why it is always a good idea to look before you pull out into traffic.

In video shot on 22 November 2021, a bus in New Taipei City pulled out into the road, forcing a moped alongside it to brake hard.

Unfortunately the moped behind that rider had not allowed enough stopping distance, and careered straight into the first bike, knocking them both onto the road.

Fortunately, a cement truck passing by was able to avoid crushing the second rider, lying on the road.

No one was seriously injured in the accident in Datong District but the mopeds were severely damaged.

So who was at fault? The bus driver for not waiting before pulling out, or the second moped for not allowing enough stopping distance?

Some road users are too impatient and need to learn to wait. This reckless bus driver thought it would be a good idea to not pay attention to the road, resulting in the moped riders behind to react fast. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough time and the moped users collided. If it wasn't for the construction lorry driver reacting quickly, one of them could have been crushed. No one was seriously injured in the accident but the mopeds were severely damaged . Hopefully in the future, these bus drivers will learn from their mistakes.

Footage was recorded at: Datong District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
