When visiting my wife’s hometown in China, as a former (AAA) driver instructor in college, I observed and videoed Chinese drivers.
Drivers’ attitude appears to be ‘I am here first. You find your way around.’
Example: Woman taxi driver parks in the two-lane wide entrancexit of the train station.
Vehicles trying to get out also block vehicles trying to get in and vice-versa, creating traffic backups.
Inside the terminal I was unable to hear if others were honking at her.
Another common move: Lefturning vehicles turn left blocking thru-vehicles.
Drivers behind the blocked through-vehicles pass the blocked vehicles on theiright, thus blocking the lefturning vehicles who are blocking the thru-vehicles.
They create a “gridlock” athe intersection with everyone blocking everyonelse.
Their LED traffic signals display green (<)(^)(>) while opposing traffic gets the same indication (<)(^)(>).
Many traffic signals have a permanent green (>) .
If there is a STOP sign, when turning right you do not stop. You continue yourighturn and merge in with traffic approaching from your left! Those drivers expect you to fit in.
In their limited access highways - equivalentour Interstate highways - farmers in their farm vehicles will be moving at 5 mph in the LEFT and other lanes… (It appears they are jealous and wanto impede rich people driving 100 kph in theinice air-conditioned cars.)
(Frequently, no sooner had our bus attained the speed lim,it had to brake and slow to maneuver around farmers.)
Manyehicles in China have very worn brakes because of all the needlesstopping they causeach other to do.
