Chinese Driving Rules

Rules from Mr. Mike Genau's blog.com......chyeah....thanks

Rule 1: There are No Rules

2 Ignore all road markings, especially the one in the center that is painted in yellow.


3 All signs are suggestions, including stop signs and traffic lights.


4 Drive with your lights on at night only if you can afford to compromise on your mileage.


5Do not use your turn signal. If you must use your turn signal, make sure not to turn it off until you have arrived at your destination.


6 Honk your horn under the following circumstances


You are about to pass someone


You are passing someone


You have just passed someone


Someone is about to pass you


Someone is passing you


Someone has just passed you


You are about to make a turn


You want someone to move out of your way


You are about to hit someone


Someone is about to hit you


You recognize someone you know


There is an ox in the road


You haven't honked your horn in over a minute.


7 All vehicles are allowed on the road regardless of size, shape, or mode of locomotion.


8 If you drive a scooter you should drive unpredictably, go the wrong way half of the time, and make sure to utilize pedestrian walkways and crosswalks whenever possible.


9 When making a left-hand turn across a busy street, slowly ease your way into oncoming traffic, lay on the horn, and hope for the best.
