Does anyone obey the laws?

Who on earth can get used to driving in this taipei traffic condition? Really, does anyone ever bother with traffic signs?

Welcome. To answer your questions:

Give it a few month and I am sure you will adapt. Be careful though when you go back - you may loose your license faster than you can say “Oh sh…”.

Probably not.

Get a drivers license - there is some thread with detailed explanations on how to obtain it, run a search else maybe somebody can advise where to find it?
