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...

 

Stereotypes have to come from something....

 

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 like the two bikes that crashed into each other

 

Believe me, that's worse than in the Philippines ! Never saw it that bad over there.
After watching the video, I'm not surprised......

 

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.

 

Simple traffic lights could help.

 

They don't have traffic lights? They just look straight when they are crossing intersections...

This is why we are going to win WWIII

 

Remind me to never drive there

 

Make 'em drive to the front lines?

 

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.

 

I work in China aka San Bruno so I see all this stuff all the time when it cones to people driving, my car has been hit 3 times in the parking lot lol

 

I am surprised there was no footage of secondary accidents.

 

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.

 

I'm sure that last part has alot to do with it. What law enforcement there is, is generally corrupt. Same goes for Philippines. Unless youre upper class, if you want to succeed at anything, driving included, you fight tooth and nail for it.
