    Hope this hasn't been posted before. Saw it on liveleak, but don't think they inbed. The scary thing about this shit is I see this at least once a week, and have almost been major smashed by these assholes on my motorcycle. Their trucks have turbos and blowoff values to match. The best part of this country is that no one moves for police cars and ambulances, but EVERYONE moves for these guys....the first towtruck on the scene gets paid something like $300 from the insurance, so it's nuts....

    fucking insane. for those who haven't watched, it starts off a little slow but gets better about half way through, definitely worth watching.

    it looked like a video game to me, especially at the end with the other tow truck pulling in front, lol.

    Bonkers. Really did look like Simpsons Road Rage or something.

    And what's with all the road arrows? Can you really u-turn pretty much anywhere you want in South Korea?

    LOOOOOOOOOOL, this is fucking amazing.

    My favorite parts were:

    1:06, when he first goes into crazymode, like, up until that point he's just being relatively chill, but then you can just visualize a switch going off in the driver's head right at that point and him just being like FUCK THIS SHIT and flipping his siren on all suddenly and veering off into the oncoming lane and zooming off on his way like fuck all these random people in my way, I don't have time for this bullshit.

    and then 1:57 when he just zooms through a red light at a crowded intersection and barely avoids getting T-Boned on his right side by that white car

    and then 2:20 when he zooms straight through yet another red light at an even more crowded intersection, and first veers left to avoid the car coming diagonally from his right (that car is making a left turn while he is barging right through the intersection straight through it's turning path lol) and then has to immediately veer sharply to the right to avoid the two cars coming at him from his left instantly after veering to the left to avoid that first guy. And he just does this whole thing totally casually like, aint no thang, just weaving my way straight through this crowded ass intersection while its a red light for my direction, whatevs.

    lololol awesome vid.

    Fucking <3 asia

    I'm jealous that you are in Korea right now btw OP. (Not about this particular aspect of it obv, but like, just in terms of everything else, all the Korean hotties bouncing around anywhere you go out there omfg, I could just mentally jack off to hotties on the sidewalk all day just walking around doing nothing but checking out hot Korean chicks all day over there if I was there.

    I hope you'll still be there in the summer. Cuz they have that huge beach festival thing at Haeundae beach where there's like a million Koreans all packed onto that beach during a certain part of summer each year. If you go to it, plz take pics of all the hottest Korean chicks you see there and PM them to me plz this summer plz thx

    you can "technically" only make a U-turn before a left hand signal when there is a white dotted line. The arrows imply what your lane is "supposed" to do. You can pretty much do whatever you want behind the wheel, or on a bike, there's really no traffic cop presence...they're there, but don't pull people over...they have cameras for speed and some lights, but for the most part taxis and tow trucks are above the law....
    The driving here isn't as bad as one would think, but then there's the times where you're just screaming "SWEET FUCKING JESUS, ARE YOU REAL!?!?"

    i bet that shit don't fly in N. Korea.

    and that should def be a video game. i liked how the other tow driver pulled out into the oncoming lane while our guy was speeding down it and he just swerved quick around him. the orange truck pulling in front obviously dejected was a nice finish also.

    You living out here too?? I've always wanted to videotape one of my bike rides to work...they get pretty fucking radical...I probably would have at least 25 infractions for a 15 minute ride....don't think I'll ever be able to adjust to the US riding standard...
