Really? I didn’t see it. I only saw one or two replies that weren’t serious comments.
So, the same as double solid yellow lines?
Let’s be honest: I see dashed lines on sharp corners where nobody should pass, people drive how they want. In reality…
Knowing the laws might make one slightly less likely to get a ticket. But following all the laws carefully and assuming everyone else will also is a good way to get in an accident
I was fined 1800 for turning left into a driveway of my bro’s restaurant some 6 years ago 
. I knew it was illegal to do so but I was naive at that time and I’ve seen like hundreds of cars & scooters turning left or making u-turns at the same spot…so I figured what the heck! Let’s do it! and we were running late for a dinner appointment so I flashed my left blinker and was waiting for oncoming traffic to dissipate…not knowing that a darn scooter cop was silently waiting behing me all this time!! 
just waiting…waiting & waiting patiently for me to “do the bad deed”. As soon as I saw the oncoming lane was empty, I went for it and then I heard the dreaded siren and was like “F#$% me!..my first time doing this and I get caught!” I stopped at the side of the road right in front of my bro’s restaurant, told my folks to go in and eat first while the cop started berating me about my stupidity and how I held up traffic blah blah. He wrote me an 1800 ticket and one penalty point was added to my licence for 6 mths. My bro, sis in law and all other friends came out to witness the occassion and took pics and laughed 
Edit: At least the curry, tandoori chicken, biryani & the lassi was free that day lol! In my defense, if I had obeyed traffic laws like a good citizen, I would have had to drive another 10~15 mins to find a u-turn as it’s almost impossible to find places when we can make u-turns legally in Taipei.
This is where I was caught, right in front of the Ding Gua Gua (T.K.K)! I tried to make a left to go into the alley beside T.K.K
I never knew TW has points on licence, I went to check and indeed they don’t. THey give you penalty points instead. So if you receive 6 penalty points within 6 months you get 1 month suspensions. If in 12 months u r suspended twice and get another penalty point, ur licence is revoked.
Would rather have a real points based system where points r taken out and taken.
It’s astonishing however the low level of enforcement, according to the rules, running a red light is 3 penalty points, u do that twice licence suspended, u get suspended again and even park on a yellow line, licence revoked. never saw this.
Oh yeah my bad!.. I was actually given a penalty point for that offense. I kept checking online everyday after my 6 mth period was over and was relieved to see it was reset back to Zero! I like a clean slate! 
I have one of these right turn lights on my commute , but traffic still comes from the left straight into the car turning right. I’m convinced the light is timed incorrectly, but my colleagues say no, you are supposed to look then go if clear. Makes no sense. Of course, during this time, the traffic running perpendicularly are supposed to be making left turns under green arrows.
It seems you don’t understand how turning on red works, which is fair if you’ve never driven in the US, Canada, or China.
Right turn on red is permitted in certain intersections where you have a clear view of traffic coming from your left. In the US and Canada, only dense places like Manhattan and Montreal island prohibit right turns on red.
In Taiwan, if turning right on red is permitted at an intersection, sometimes there will be a sign indicating so, but more often there will just be a separate right green arrow.
Well yeah, if you have a red light, then obviously the cross traffic has green. You need to yield to them before turning right.
Your colleagues are right. When turning right on red (or right green arrow), you are supposed to come to a full stop, look to your left, and make your right turn when there is a gap. This is how turning on red works in the US, Canada, and China too.
Its a green dedicated arrow for turning right as shown in the photo. It comes on while the cross traffic is supposed to have a dedicated left hand green arrow. I’ll edit this to remove the caption about the right on red signage which likely confused you.
Oh wait, I was thinking of the other picture you posted, not the one with the red-shirt scooter guy. I just edited my comment.
So the dedicated green arrow pointing right isn’t protected? How about left hand turn green arrows?
Correct.
Protected.
I explained this in my first post in this thread, which was what sparked this whole side discussion in the first place. See below:
the Chinese sign next to the light says so.
右轉燈亮時可機會右轉
I read somewhere I while back (but can’t find it now). They are considering stopping all right on red (unless it has a dedicated light). The idea is to make the system easier to follow and safer. It means you’re not looking around at the red light trying to work out if you can go or not, or getting impatient drivers behind you beeping.
I think the main confusion is the right green arrow, because green left arrows are protected.
The “right turn on red permitted” sign is pretty clear IMO, but I’ve only seen that in the picture posted above. Never seen it IRL.
So despite still not having a clue how to drive here or what any of these weird squiggles on the road mean, I passed my written test this morning and got 97.5% 
Nor do TW folks. This tells a lot. Now good luck with the practice test, but it should be relatively easy goven how they drive and the standards hete.
