My reflection:
There were 8 of us leaving the school, wanting to cab two taxi and head to “Jia Le Fu” shopping malls. While we were flagging for cab, a small van just stopped in front of us with the driver asking us where we were going. Not wanting to be separated, also with only 30 RMB charge to our destination, we boarded the van.
The drivers in China were just too experienced and skillful. Eight of us saw red light was approaching us. Our driver did not decelerate instead he increases speed. We were stunned and not sure what he was trying to do. He passed the red light by turning right and quickly changed direction by turning left again. And there he goes, red light without stopping. The reactions from us were like “WOW”.
The people here really were going against the traffic rules. But I hardly see any road accident happening in China so far.
Let’s compare it with Singapore whereby we people MUST follow the traffic rules. We could still encounter car accidents while travelling to school early in the morning.
I found that driving is basically depended more of one experience. I believe the drivers here drive since young. May be the day they started driving were when their legs could actually touch the pedals.
