Three clips filmed in Taiwan show that not looking before turning into a road is a truly global form of stupidity.

In the first, filmed in Beimen District in Chiayi City on 5 November 2021, a moped user picked a terrible moment to cross a busy road, apparently not checking if there were cars coming first. There were, and it was only good luck that saved them from a collision and serious injury.

In another, recorded in Hualien County on 10 October 2021, a driver was casually driving down the road when a blue car made a u-turn into its path. It was only the quick reaction of the driver of the fast-moving car that prevented a crash.

In the last, on 2 November 2021, a reckless car driver in Daan District of New Taipei City pulled out of a parking space into the path of several mopeds, almost knocking one over. Fortunately, the rider was able to swerve and just avoided a serious smash.

It is unknown as to why this moped user was stationary at the side of a busy road but when they decided to move, they picked the wrong moment. They narrowly avoid a collision with a car as they attempt to turn left. It's obvious they weren't paying attention and didn't notice the oncoming car. They are extremely lucky that this didn't cause a major accident.

As this driver was casually driving down the road, a blue car to the left of them decided to make a u-turn into their path. The driver of the blue car wasn't being very observant of the situation around them. This resulted in the driver beeping their horn and yelling at the idiotic driver that made the mistake.

When these moped riders were casually cruising through Daan District, they faced this ludicrous driver that pulled out of a parking space into oncoming traffic. This impatient driver almost knocked one of the riders off their moped into the middle of the road.
