Reinforcing Stereotypes!!! Seriously, WTF?? (VIDEO)
Wow, this traffic footage from China is just...wow.
granted in a couple of these you dont see everything, but most of them pretty much speak for themselves. I mean they dont look or even SLOW DOWN when they blow through what is clearly an intersection where theres enough visibility to see cars or bikes coming from the other direction! And some of them seem like they happen in slow motion, like 10 miles an hour but they dont hit the brakes!
The one at 2:05 is simply mindblowing. this person, clearly looking at the guy standing there, runs him over...at 2 MPH
And even the bikes that should be able to stop fast just seem to plow into each other, like at 3:38, the guy on the bike could have just put his feet down and stopped. Seriously WTF!
Okay, just watch...

Looks like typical Asian traffic to me.
I know that in the Philippines, it's even more chaotic. The shoulder isn't an emergency lane, it's a passing lane.

I'm telling you, I convinced that certain races have attributes and weaknesses genetically ingrained. Chinese can't see far enough to operate vehicles. They have little regard for others property or one another frankly. I can imagine it's the dog eat dog world they live in.

Oh man... As someone once said, you don't bring a bike to a car fight...
But seriously - that is pretty amazing. It would be fun to get some 70's land yacht and just spend a few days driving through that intersection crashing into people and yelling 'ASSSSSSHOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" but I am sure the joke would be lost.

After visiting China a few times I realized it's a cultural thing. It's simply a lack of driver training, road etiquette and law enforcement. I had a new understanding of all the bad Asian drivers out here... it's not genetic, just cultural.
The sub-25 mph aggressive driving cracks me up to this day. Slo mo road rage.
