Reminds me of driving back home, except the roads in this video are better.

Oh, and I think all of those videos are real. I recognize a few of them.

Not being racist but over here in Dubai, I have found that the chinese drivers are consistently among the worst ever.

They have complete lack of spatial awareness and the complete disregard for the rules makes them a danger to everyone.

And the worst is when you honk or flash your lights to get their attention/warn them, they look at you like they are right and you are an idiot.

Finally, one of the stupidest accidents I ever was in was when a Chinese guy scraped the side of my car, while my car was parked for gas, and there was about 1.5-2cars space to pass by me. He then gets out and looks shocked.

The funniest was when the cops showed up. They gave him an earful about driving. Then proceeded to take his car keys and license away since this was like the 9th accident he had been in, in 6 months.

If you have ever been to or lived in Taiwan you will know that the majority can not drive or ride. If you look at all the bumps,dents and scratches on the cars and scooters this will tell you all about their driving habits and skills. Of course there are a few who do know how to ride and drive but as far as the majority is concerned, forget it.

I'll tell you why, its because in Asian countries, they sometimes build new divided 2 way highways that cut across old neighborhoods with lack of exits. So if some1 just wants to make a left turn and go down a mile, now has to make a right and go 5 miles then exit and then get back on for another 5 miles to get there.
So as a result, they just get on the wrong side and save their trouble. happens more with motorcycles and mopeds than cars, but it happens.

I was about to ask why dont they drive on the right shoulder, but then logic kicked me in the back of my head.

people you have to remember, we in the US and parts of Europe have been driving cars for over 100 yrs, most asian country the majority of the population have been driving for only the last 20 or 30 yrs and in china only the last 10 yrs. These people lack any experience with driving, then when from bikes with a top speed of 20 to 30 mphs to something that can go 100 mph and they still have reaction time of being on a bike.

If you ever watched an old time movie of driving in the US in a city you would see drives doing a lot of the same stupid things and have accidents all the time.

Well, having said that, stupid drivers are still around North America. Stay Safe.

But what about a 15 year old kid that just got his learners permit, he's prob had no experience behind the wheel, and we wouldn't expect these kind of mistakes from him.

the 15 year old here has parents that drove all their lives and their parents also have parents that drove their entire lives. So they have better examples sort of speak. Where as in Asia, especially in China and Taiwan and South Korea, driving is new to the kid and the parents. Lots of times the kid probably started driving before the parents.

So in summary
lack of example
lack of time
lack of experience
lack of driving etiquette in the culture

Ironically the police does the same thing a lot of times, aint nobody tryna drive 10 miles to go a mile.

Basically it is a somewhat culturally accepted form of traffic behavior...for now.
