OMG - do they have a driving licence/ driving test system in China?  :-/ At least there were always plenty of witnesses  :y

I liked the one where the car seemed to "deliberately" drive into the pedestrian who was standing around in the middle of a crossroads - what a pair of knobs  :) :) ;D

Most of those accidents seemed to arise from confusion as to who had the right of way - they seemed to happen at walking speed  ;D ;D

Bloody Priceless! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Now can someone find some video of the Indian Driving Test? That should give us a few laughs, but only short ones 'cos they only have to drive in a straight line for about 30ft to get a licence! :o & most of 'em still can't get that right!!! :D ;D ;D

unreal !And nobody thought that some sort of "giveway" sign might be helpful? Just as well that the majority were driving so slowly. Maybe they think that having 5mph limiters on all cars means that they wouldnt have to invest in road signs or a highway code ...

If you all think that is terrible, wait until you find out what they have to do over there to enable them to ride a motorcycle!!

Reliably informed it consists of a 15 min "assessment" by a local policeman, who may or may not ride a motorcycle themself, and the ability to read a sign. (any sign.........!!)

And if you happen to KNOW the said policeman personally...........

of course, all this could just be a scam by the insurance companies to make a bit of money. Maybe it was them that went around taking away all the road signs...

I found them to be quite graceful - almost balletic for the most part - was nice to see that the victims apparently escaped serious injury. :y :y
