In Taiwan, people my age usually ride scooters. Before getting a license, I used to ride my mom's scooter on the road. One day I picked up someone, and an accident occurred. The trurh is that I wanted to pass the yellow light and pushed the speed to the hight. Then the crash happened between the left-turning scooter and mine. I was fine, but the person I picked up was wounded. I had to call 911 to take care of her. Then the ambulance and police came together. I needed to show my license. The police said that it was wrong of the left-turn guy, but non-licensed driving was more serious matter. Finally, the police gave us a suggestion. If we don't care to make an issue with each other, maybe he could close his eyes.
I was in a very serious motorcycle accident myself. I scraped the skin off my hands, knees, elbows, shoulder, hips and face. I broke a tooth also. I haven't ridden a motorcycle since. I am so lucky I had a helmet on!
