Taiwan's NPP Urges Transport Ministry to Set Timeline for Ending Mandatory Two-Stage Left Turns for Scooters

Taiwan's New Power Party (NPP) is urging the Ministry of Transportation to set a clear timeline and standards for ending mandatory two-stage left turns for scooters, citing a Tainan trial that saw a 21% drop in accidents. The NPP criticizes the ministry's 'tailored approach' as vague, arguing that research indicates the policy change reduces accidents, injuries, and medical costs.
