TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Dashcam video has surfaced today on Taiwanese social media showing a helmet-less joyrider on a scooter casually chatting with his buddy before suddenly colliding with a concrete pillar in a tunnel in central Taiwan.
The incident occurred when two men were riding scooters without helmets on Tuesday (April 23) afternoon on Provincial Highway 14 in Nantou County’s Ren’ai Township. The entire accident was captured by the dashcam of a motorist who happened to be trailing the two reckless riders.
In the video, a man wearing a gray shirt can be seen weaving in and out of traffic, before his stout friend suddenly appears from the right shoulder to catch up with him. The two men then enter a tunnel as they drive side-by-side.
As the men start to round a bend in the road, they start chatting with each other. Unfortunately, the two are too busy looking at each other rather than looking at the road.
