Caught dead

... he got on a beat up, rusty old scooter.... no guy around here would be caught dead driving a thing like that.

Does that mean 'around here no one wants to be seen to drive such a rusty scooter'?
Thanks.

Yes, and very much so. It would be an embarrassing or stigmatising thing to be seen doing.
