That's another pretty old video George and it has been commented on many times in the past on this site. Why not look for some newer videos?

A crash is a crash, no matter what you drive/ride. No amount of crash videos can change the way I feel about riding scoots. This video has been posted on this site B4.

I don't understand the intersection(s). I'm also assuming this is in India?

But what are the boxes in the middle of the road? And are there no traffic lights?

I'm sure India has it's traffic laws, unfortunately, like many places in the world, they seem to be largely seen as advisory. General rule of the road is that the largest and/or boldest vehicle has the right of way.

I really don't know, but I'm guessing those little boxes are for people to stand in to direct traffic. Could be wrong. If they're there to protect them, good luck.

+1 on the boxes i wouldn't want to stand in one .....................and virtually no helmets what i find most disconcerting its just everyday life no racing just getting to work or going home
