First World Development, Third World Drivers...

I can't help thinking of the Cantonese expression, 'chong tou yau saeng' or when you knock something, (you would know because) the impact gives a sound'!


These driving examples show either the lack of basic knowledge and/or the flouting of basic road safety rules.

A driving test in UK has a list of mistakes any of which is crucial to passing the test. One of them is to stop at unmarked junctions, look left and then right, left again, before deciding if it is ok to drive across. Usually the test candidate is asked to drive to a quiet housing estate where there are many crossroad junctions to observe his driving. If the driver drove across at any junction without stopping (regardless of whether there is in fact any vehicle at the junction), he would fail the test.
Most of the accidents in the video clip were due to the drivers' ignorance or just being reckless.
