STOP immediately. Keep a distance of at least 50 meters. Turn off your engine so the bike is quiet. DO NOT honk your horn, flash lights, or yell. Wild elephants are easily startled and will charge a scooter in seconds. Wait patiently for the elephant to cross into the jungle. If it walks toward you, push your scooter backward slowly.

Never try to speed past them. They move much faster than you think and can easily swipe you off the bike.

If locals in vans stop and wait, you do the exact same thing. Do not try to be a hero.
