| guestlucy | When I was traveling in the cities of China, I noticed that people frequently ran the red light. Why do they run the red light? Don't they know that it is very dangerous if a car suddenly appears on the road? Or is it because they think that the car dare not run into him/her? |

 | This mentality is obviously the same worldwide. It's people in a hurry going nowhere. |

| It is OK to turn right against a red light in China. Dodger. |

| Why do the Chinese run red lights? Or, for that matter, drive the way they do? It's simple. They have been driving bicycles for as long as there have been bikes. It takes energy to stop, start, stop, start, so they have never had any use for stop signs. The worst that can happen to you if you get hit by a bike, or if you are riding the bike and hit a person, is both of you may end up getting knocked to the ground, after which you dust yourself off and carry on your way. Now, cars have been added to the mix, but the bicycle mentality, or style of driving, has not changed. A factor which compounds this problem is the psychotic desire on the part of every Chinese to pass or otherwise get by or around whatever is in front of them. So, we see double and triple passing through school and playground zones, passing within spitting distance of intersections, driving three abreast on two lane roadways, and the list goes on and on. Thank goodness that, for the Chinese, colors distort and time begins to slow down somewhere around 60 km / hour, or we would see all manner of carnage on the roads. |
