I'm very sure if you want to drive in China, you must have a very good break and hon, stay alert all the time to make emergency break. There is too many "Idiots" on the road, must be very carefull at all time and this put the driver in high stress.Eric Honghttp://erichong127.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928346528217639152.post-4745468811028381022006-02-13T11:20:04.000+08:002006-02-13T11:20:04.000+08:00The only rules that I know of on the highway are: ...The only rules that I know of on the highway are: <br />1. Drive defensively<br />2. Use common sense<br />3. Say your prayers every time you clock in your touch n go.<br />4. Don't ever loose your cool.<br /><br />The worst part of having Mr Harley meeting Mr Thunderbolt is having innocent victims in between. I've seen too many close shaves myself. An example was; one early morning Mr Thunderbolt came up suddenly behind us when my friend who was driving noticed a blockage ahead. He immediately swerved to the left. Mr Thunderbolt pushed right through and noticed the obstruction ahead too late. But his luck held. He managed to bring his mean machine under control after bumping the center divider a few times. Costly lesson...lc tehhttp://lianchye.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4928346528217639152.post-48816502206526954132006-02-12T22:46:37.000+08:002006-02-12T22:46:37.000+08:00This issue will always bring up a heated debate ov...This issue will always bring up a heated debate over here. I'm not sure if there's a rule that says you may stay in the passing lane as long as you're driving at the speed limit. But still, it doesn't give the right to a faster car behind to pull a stunt like that. It's called tailgating and it's dangerous and illegal.<br /><br />However, I think there may be a rule that says you have to give up the passing lane if there is a faster car behind you. The biker, on most probably a Harley, was thinking about the latter rule when he was giving you the hand signals. But since he's a "man", compensated by the size of his bike's engine, he decided to become a highway vigilante and give you lesson. That is very wrong and very stupid, as you've noted how vulnerable he made himself become to someone who might retaliate.<br /><br />Such is the chaos off highway driving these days. Stay alert and try not to disrupt the flow of the traffic. Drive like everyone else is an idiot. If you need to stay in the passing lane, do it on a long stretch where you can see 1km behind you to spot the speed demons. One day, Mr. Thunderbolt in his sleek car may fail to notice the car on the passing lane that he's approaching at 60kph in excess because he's looking at the rear mirror to see if his racing rival is catching up. And who's to pay for his stupidity?<br /><br />Never try to enforce the rules of the highway to someone who obviously failed to learn them. I believe they will eventually figure it out - the hard way. One day, Mr. Thunderbolt will meet Mr. Harley driving his car on the passing lane, driving at a slower speed than Mr. Thunderbolt. Mr. Thunderbolt proceeds to flash his lights and inch up to Mr. Harley's rear bumper to intimidate him out of the way. That sparked a righteous fury out of Mr. Harley. Being the self-proclaimed highway vigilante he is, Mr. Harley did a "brake check" - a quick tap on the brakes - to scare off the punk behind him. Mr. Thunderbolt, too close to react in time, bumped into Mr. Harley. Both lost control of their cars and crashed, and all they gained was the priviledge to be part of the national highway accidents statistics.Chee-Seng Choonghttp://onearmedscissor.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
