I don’t know what’s scarier in China, the good drivers…or the bad ones.
Since there’s a thousand new cars on the road each day in Kunming, it’s no surprise you get a handful of drivers who don’t know a sidewalk from a turning lane.
Take for instance, China’s very own Mr. Magoo (video below). He decided to take the pedestrian overpass near the place I got my eye glasses.
You think the driver should make an eye appointment?
Then there’s the Chinese Take Out delivery guy. How many health code violations can you count in this picture?
Finally, there’s the crazy bikes.
I would love to follow this guy just to see how he parks the thing. Do you think he bothers to lock it up?
We do have a few Western friends who have enough faith to drive in China. They had to take a driver’s test which is 800 questions long. No joke.
This is why walking remains my favorite mode of transportation.
