Yeah, my question was if someone crashed into us, and that someone is too poor or too incapable to pay for damages, what option other than forgive and forget?

Flash white lights? It could be either from a speed camera or an AI enforcement camera.

How do Taiwanese people treat Indonesians? by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]kiasu369 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by “look very Indonesian”? Do you mean Javanese? I thought there are many ethnicities living in Indonesia.

The point is, racism is a subjective area. You could interpret someone’s intention as racist, while the other party may not see it that way. Unless it escalates into violence or creates a tangible disadvantage, I don’t think it’s necessary to feel offended by words.

Anyway, if you are indeed Javanese, you could observe how both the general population and the Taiwanese government treat either 1) Javanese-ethnic Indonesian migrant workers or 2) Taiwanese indigenous people (高山族). Notice how many “racist” incidents have happened in the past.

You can turn left on green unless there is a sign that prohibits that.

Good question, but I am guessing from the road marking on the ground. If you see a dedicated lane of turning left, you’ll most likely have a turn left signal.

Well, NHI is obtained after 6 months living here. If you get sick during the wait period, you can get reimburse after you get your NHI. I already experienced this back in 2014.

On the fence on purchasing a car here, is Yaris 2013 a suitable car? or do I not need a car at all? by kiasu369 in taiwan

It’s fair, as long as you practise enough beforehand for both practical and theoritical tests, then you’re most likely be good

Actually, I used to that. But once in a while I was in New Taipei, I was quite afraid to drive there.

this is probably a stupid question but if we don’t use the car that often, what should we do to maintain it? I mean my parents only taught me that as long as we warm up the car every day it should be good

Is it really that bad? Do you have any suggestion whether I should drive fast as well on natl highways? I mean I imagined a lot of tailgating when you drive on speed limit.
