Some people love their pets so much, that sometimes, they end up putting their own selves at risk. That was the case of a scooter driver in Douliu, who was caught doing an unusual balancing act with their dog. A road user captured a video of a scooter zipping along the busy Daxue Road, with the dog chilling on the seat of the scooter, while the human steered the vehicle squatting on the footboard behind the handlebars. The dangerous scene quickly sparked heated discussion online.

At night in Douliu, a driver noticed a strange sight in the slow lane: a scooter rider zipped by not sitting as normal, but squatting on the footboard.

That’s because the seat was occupied by a dog, chilling in the breeze. But squatting behind the handlebars is hardly the best way to check the road ahead. The driver-and-dog duo was spotted on Daxue Road, which is bustling with traffic round the clock. People had much to say about the scooter driver’s technique.

Member of public
Doesn’t get it
It’s really crazy. I don’t get why they wouldn’t just ride normally. Why do all that?

Member of public
Impressed and concerned
The dog is amazing… and so is the person. But this is really dangerous.

Member of public
Worried about road safety
The rider might be having fun, but it’s putting other road users at risk.

Police say dangerous driving will be punished with fines.

Lin Ching-feng
Police officer
Riding a motorcycle while squatting on the footboard constitutes improper riding and violates regulations against dangerous driving methods. Offenders can be fined between NT$6,000 and NT$36,000. Additionally, if a motorcycle carries passengers or cargo improperly, a fine of up to NT$600 may be imposed.

Police urge the public to follow traffic rules and avoid showing off or engaging in risky behavior while driving, to prevent harm to themselves and others.
