Haha! I agree! Bikes are much more environmentally friendly than those new cars. The city now is kinda getting into ebikes cuz they cover more distances and are faster than both driving or the subway. I even go out on my ebike and leave my car in the garage now in Beijing

i use a bike aswell, but i wouldnt sell my car... because i like to go out of the citie alot...

Two main reasons: 1. Although it is required in the laws of China to use signals when changing lanes, it is just not a very common practice. People are used to other people changing lanes without signals. 2. When some people see you signal to change into their lane and they don't want to cut them off, they will step on the gas and not let you get in the lane you want. This is especially common in rush hour traffic. 3. In China, the first car has the right of way, unlike America where the car in the lane has the right of way, which makes turn signals for lane change not very necessary.

Fair enough, although I'm not really worried with how they drive in America, it's when Chinese people start driving here in Australia that concerns me, their lack of knowledge and driving style causes alot of accidents.

I live in this university town (aka lot of Chinese) in the US for 10 years and have seen tons of car accidents (we are in the south), not a single one had Asians involved. I don't Know anything about Australia so i asked Dr. google, the result is funny. Here we go, ========================= Researchers at the University of Sydney reported in 2010 that among drivers aged 25 and younger, the crash risk of Asian-born drivers is actually about half that of Australian-born drivers. Lest readers immediately lampoon the native-born Australians for being too liberal with the Foster’s, these results were replicated in a 2011 Canadian study, where researchers found that recent immigrants (largely from China and India) were 40 to 50 percent less likely than long-term residents to be involved in a crash. --------------------------- Source www.washingtoncitypaper.com/columns/straight-dope/article/13046281/are-people-of-some-races-worse-drivers-than-others-statistically

Interesting! This is a good report that shows that driving behaviors or any crime and habits should not be associated with certain races and no certain problems can be addressed to single races or groups. We live in a multicultural society where we should learn to solve problems together and be responsible together. Unfortunately, where I live in Toronto, Canada, there is still a little bit of myth that Chinese drivers cause accidents. On RUclips, you can still find many videos which make fun of drivers in Russia through compilations of car accidents...

matt because drivers in oz are bunch of noobs

nope

Lots of developing countries look the same tbh

The only exeption is that i've never seen cycling lane that large. Even in holland where there's more than one bike per habitant.

TheResi42 Goes to show how many people there is in China, cars per capita is low compared to developed countries, yet there's traffic jams that last days, so many fucking people man it's hard to imagine.

+Arthome Around 21,000,000

Vincent Tang I see, I just wondering why there are so many vesicles on the road in the city urban. Thank you for your information.

Vincent Tang holy shit

Actually 23millions with over 6million cars

+苏哲 Everyone is waiting for that moment, but hopefully it can happen by the next decade... Now although electric cars are encouraged by the government by offering free license plates, the main cause for smog is still the heavy industries around the city (outside the 6th ring)...

who knows when that will happen though...

+Wang Tao you see because there is a height limit for the buildings in Beijing like Washington and London.

You're only seeing a very small part of Beijing.

In Beijing, the buildings have been limited inside of 3rd ring road because they don’t want hurt the old buildings.

+wu xiansheng How many cars are there now? Last time I checked it was 5 millions, and that was like 10 years ago.

+Mingwei Zhang more than 7000000 cars. 200000 do not have Beijing license plates. Half the population lives outside the 5th ring road, which means that every morning 10000000 people enter the city. All of these number explain why the traffic is bad.

Because it is recorded on a 170 degrees angle dashcam.

Sorry I turned off sound recording on the dashcam when recording this video. I also have a video of me riding my bike in Beijing and a video of driving in Shanghai. This is the video of me riding my bike in Beijing Riding Bike In Beijing

Vincenzo Tang OK. I will check them out.

Vincenzo Tang I didn't find the video which was taken on Shanghai.
