I have always found it very interesting that Taiwanese often wear jackets backwards when driving their ubiquitous scooters. I am told that if jackets are worn normally, wind resistance will increase making riding slower and more costly. Could this be seen as an environmental hack? I wonder why no one in Taiwan has designed a jacket that fits on backwards - market opportunity?

the motorcycle does not care how the rider wears the jacket.
So wind drag on the jacket doesn't make sense? (In terms of wearing it backwards to save on drag and thus fuel).
right on. the motorcycle should be more powerful than the wind. how strong would the wind have to be if merely shielded by the jacket?
