Many things the Taiwanese have normalized and accustomed to to do as society has amazed me. One of the first things I noticed is that stark contrast on how everyone parks their scooters by the road. It is just amazing. In fact to simply say amazing is an understatement. Why so? It is easier to be neat and to follow public rules for parking when one is not in a rush and when there are ample space to maneuver the bike. The parking lots for scooters (or motocycles) in Taipei are actually quite scarse because of the large number of "scooter'ist" on the road.
Despite the number of riders trying to find a lot even if they have to literally squeeze in between a gap the size of a paper thickness, I've not (yet) caught any parked scooter whose handle is not positioned to the left.
That is not all, this societal rule applies also to bicycles. Amazing isn't it?
