When it starts raining though, you'd wish you're taking shelter in a car instead of riding scooters while wearing a raincoat.
Hahaha this was my family of 4, 20 years ago. I still remember it vividly for some reason, thanks for the reminder.
You can transport your family on a motorcycle or scooter in the US too. You'll just be on a first name basis with all the cops everywhere you go regularly because even if the cops themselves dgaf there will be no shortage of people calling them on you.
So not a realistic option, isnt it?
I wonder about speeds. The only places I've seen a lot of people on motorcycles is in heavy traffic where the speed is only slightly faster than you could ride on a bicycle. In the US most traffic is at higher speeds on residential roads, and you are expected to jump over to the freeway with very high speeds to get around. As such the practice is much more dangerous if you drive like you are in the US (not that it is ever safe)
That's my point. We're more or less forced to spend resources doing things to a higher standard.
