[quote=DODGER,480755]Rules and regulations are useless unless they can be enforced. It is illegal to drive without a set belt, uses your mobile phone and to have any level of alcohol in you body in China. I drive every day in Beijing and have yet to see anyone with a set belt on and plenty busy texting on their phones. Stop at any truck stop at lunch time and you will see plenty of truck drivers washing down their noodles with a bottle of rice wine, and while I am on a rant I must point out that when the green man lights up on pedestrian crossing it is supposed to mean that pedestrians have the right of way. I have tried it a couple of times and it doesn’t work. Picking on pedestrians as they an easy mark is the lazy way out. Drivers need, either through education or the threat of a lose of money, or a combination of both. A lady friend drove me to dinner this evening in her usual style, which is badly. I made a comment about her driving. She laughed, and to paraphrase her she said, I can do anything; nobody cares. Is she right? Cheers, Dodger. [/quote]
