Driving In China. Near Death Experience.

Featured Replies

The video below shows a guy I work with almost becoming a grease spot on a snowy Chinese roadway.

 

I've been to China 26 times since 2003, and can tell you that I have been in this situation more than a few times.

Wow. Cool video, whats the deal with the in-car camera? I used them in police work but didnt really know if in car videos were used outside of police/government/secret squirell work.

Most companies now have these cameras running to capture these type incidents (which are very frequent) and help deal with the ensuing litigation.

Agreed, I learned in West Africa and other Third World Countries locals will stage an accident with a "Westerner" to get a big settlement. I've had to drive off the road to avoid a staging (my catalytic converter set the roadside grass on fire one time). :(  Therefore, we were trained in defensive driving as SOP, but we would opt for local taxi's whenever possible.
