Driving in Beijing from Xizhimen to Airport Car: Mercedes Benz Viano Recorded with Dashcam If you have any questions, comment below and I will answer them.
+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)...
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...
As soon as the pollution problems was solved.China will became a beautiful country in no time !

驾驶风格与１４年９１１相比明显熟练很多！！
I've noticed that not many people use their indicators when changing lanes in China, why is this?
