Location/culture I think matter too. A lot of equatorial nations drive motorcycles & motorbikes as the default. Car drivers aren’t better drivers on the whole, but they are very aware of motorcycles at all times that I feel other places, car drivers disregard all non-car transportation—motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians.
- rkomorn 1y agoVietnam traffic was absolutely mind blowing to me. Especially the awareness and care that cars, buses, etc, seemed to have. That said the safety stats still aren't that great for scooter/motorcycle/bike riders there.
- tim333 1y agoI biked in Vietnam. It looks kind of mad but the speeds are actually quite low which is how they mostly survive. The locals don't go much about 20 mph on the scooters although they are capable of 60-70.
