The chinese can't even wreck a car worth a shit. No wonder barbie's arm keeps coming off and that O7 is 3 minutes slow a day.

Holy shit man! It's like they aren't even looking when they approach these intersections. :scratch:

Maybe they need something called a "STOP" sign. It's a simple concept, even Americans understand it...well, most of them do.

These create what are called "controlled intersections." Hell, some of those videos got people simply standing in the middle of the road, and the car comes up and just runs'em down. All those intersections are free-for-alls. It makes me wonder how they manage to keep their population numbers as high as they do...attrition has to kick in at some point.

Maybe it's just Darwin at work...but he ain't working hard enough.

After the video ends and the other "samples" of Chinese driving on youtube pop up, try the one that says bad accident or tragic accident or something of the sort.

You see footage from a business cctv camera. It captures a bike with two people come into frame on the left, travel across, go just out of frame, then a car comes in at the same spot obviously running them down. The two bike passengers are summarily deposited in the parking lot as the car continues straight through the fence of the business and into one of their workshops before it manages to stop.

The kicker is, more than a dozen curious people crowd around the car sitting in the shop.

NO ONE even walks towards the motionless bodies sitting in the parking lot. there are plenty of people who came out to see what is what, but they walk around like they are ignoring the two bodies.

WTF?

These cars do have glass windows and brakes right? Seriously why isn't there a stop sign at that intersection? The most ridiculous one is where that dude runs over the guy who standing in the middle of the road, he actually slowed down then hit him.

The music made that video 10x better, I loved the guy who slowed down then ran the guy down for the hell of it!

What those folks need is a good personal injury lawyer. :whistle:















Dammit, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself. It's China, and they have no civil justice system, at least one worth a f!@k And they don't need no stinkin stop signs! And who the hell needs brakes?! :shrug:

yeah, yeah... :tap:

Sadly, you're probably right. It would be a growth business...that is until the truck picked you up at 3am, drove you to your "trial" so you could sign your guilty plea (already filled out for your convenience) and then walked straight out the back door to be shot.

:roll: Damn sad, but probably oh so true. :raised: I think I like practicing in the States just fine. :thumbsup:
