Another brilliant driver. 70yr. old driver gets berated by police officer for illegally parking in the middle of the road by Nanmen market and affecting traffic safety and traffic flow and writes the driver a 900NTD ticket. Finally…need more officers like this instead of turning a blind eye to it. Anyways driver gives the “sorry sorry sorry” and after leaving while eating his snack, which he illegally parked to buy, he gets angry. So an hour later he goes back to confront the officer and gets in a tussle with the officer.
Now he will also be prosecuted for obstructing an official and injuring the officer. Can be a 30 day sentence which can be commuted to a 30,000ntd fine.
This is what the officer said to the man when he confronted him:
沒有你們這麼自私的啦，現在所有車子都要繞過你，你沒有對不起我，你是對不起這些人。
Basically you are selfish all the other vehicles have to go around you. Don’t be sorry to me, be sorry to these people.
In another case of illegal parking. Car illegally parks on red line blocking all the scooters from being able to leave. Family waiting half an hour to leave because they are stuck until the driver leaves. Driver proudly exclaims he has money! By the time the police came the car had already left but other cars were also illegally parked there so officers issued tickets to the illegally parked cars they saw.
Driver runs red late really late and hits a car knocking them off the road. Passenger in the car that was hit died.
Car slams into multiple vehicles waiting at a red light. Driver was not drinking. Police still investigating.
Keelung bus driver in the news for honking and getting insanely close to the car in front of him who was stopping to yield for pedestrians. Not the driver’s first time getting in trouble. He’s the same brilliant example of a human being who was laying on the horn against a pedestrian legally crossing the road and even pulled open the window and yelled at the pedestrian. “Professional” driver. The other incident I’m pretty sure I even posted in the pedestrian thread when it happened.
Yet another commonality with Thailand. One place I lived had pretty rampant double parking, and I asked a guy about it. He said if we don’t make a big deal about it when other people do it, then we can do it, too
This has it all.
Old lady illegally dumps her old mattress.
Scooter driver with passenger but without license speeds like crazy during typhoon and crashed on the mattress that was blown into the road. One dead.
i wonder how many times that Kaohsiung LRT got hit already, must be almost reaching 100x. you think any of the planners considered the repair costs that would be involved because of all the people crashing into the trains?
train tracks, huge amount of yellow paint, massive green glowing train and the driver still crashed into it… how retarded do you have to be?
I was wondering today if the trains were worth the expense. Seems the only used local engineers so the roads around the tracks are a mess of lights and lanes. If ridership is high, ok great, but through traffic in those areas sucks and I try to avoid the roads with trains…
Google translate: Due to system data corruption, the case data uploaded between 10:00 and 19:00 on January 19, 2025 has been lost. Please report the public during that period and re-upload the case to avoid affecting your reporting rights.
(I was very nearly affected! I sat down at ~18:00 to do some reports, and decided to prep evidence first and do my report uploads later. Phew!)
First: have footage of a traffic violation. Ideally your video device automatically applies timestamps (and they’re more-or-less accurate!).
You’ve now got six days to upload the report. Chop up your video footage to make a sub-100MB video of the crime (I have to re-encode my 4K video down to 1080P; Windows Movie Maker works fine for most cases!). If your video doesn’t already have timestamps, some video software can add them, apparently.
Then follow the link in my post you just replied to. Fill out the form and attach the evidence. I tend to also include 4K grabs from the original video to make sure they can clearly see the number plate.
My link is for Taichung, so if you’re elsewhere, you’ll have to find your local one.
Please note that members of the public may only report the violations listed under 7-1 here:
You cannot report motorcycles parked on sidewalks, people driving while using phones, people driving while smoking, or any of those electric bikes with the A-something-something number plates. Cars parked on sidewalks or pedestrian crossings need a three-minute video (or at least photos with timestamps more than three minutes apart), and if they’re “only” parked on a red line or at a bus stop (I think?), the report will be rejected.
If you’re recording a car parked on a sidewalk and it drives away, don’t forget to report it for 45-1-6 driving on a sidewalk!
Now he’ll get a license suspension of 1 to 3 months.
