Taiwan woman narrowly avoids accident, netizens excuse her due to good looks
A jaywalker in Taiwan barely avoided a car accident when crossing a road in Taipei.

A car was driving down a small alleyway when the woman suddenly rushed into view, seemingly attempting to cross the road without checking for vehicles first.

Netizens quick to forgive ‘beautiful’ jaywalker
The video was uploaded to the dashcam-sharing YouTube channel WoWtchout, with the motorist expressing their annoyance in the description that the woman did not check the road first.
Unlike the usual insults and blame-flinging in such dashcam videos, the comments section was instead peaceful and forgiving.
“Due to that beautiful and graceful apology, I’ll let it slide this time,” said a user with a smiling emoji.

Many other users echoed the same sentiment, too captivated by the woman’s looks to blame her.
