On a few trips to Taiwan, I noticed an excessive amount of moped/motor scooter use. I asked about this, and it boils down to something similar: A moped rider in Taiwan is completely absolved from all blame (in legislation), in the event of a moped+car accident. Under no circumstances can a moped rider be penalised in such an altercation. Thus leaving the car driver to be "taken for a ride". I guess this is Nirvana for the woman on radio you mentioned.
