That was a very very close call to death I tell you for free!!
That's what they do. Drive like they are in a race...taking crazy risks to pass everything... They have been driving such a short tme.. It is equalivent to a teenage driver in western countries... And no police presence or accountability... And they drive with a cell phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other...........Quote:

Well it's mostly due to lack of education. When your driving 'instructor' would be thrown out of a test in a western country and told 'never to darken their door again' or the rich can just buy their way through, the only mainland Chinese that can drive worth a shit are the ones that have driven outside of or seen driving outside of China, and even then that's a maybe.
Instead of the usual 'they're all so shit' nonsense, I'll split things down to an analysis of watch my Chinese friend drive by using European driving standards to assess his driving over a 5km journey....
[FAIL] Eyesight too poor, cannot see registration plate from 20 meters
[FAIL] Car suspension damaged and creaking
[FAIL] Not wearing seat belt
[FAIL] Did not check mirrors before pulling away
[FAIL] Did not signal before pulling away
[FAIL] Did not shoulder check before pulling away

[FAIL] Attempted to change lane without signalling or checking mirror nearly causing accident
[HUH?] Slowed to 50 km/h for 70 km/h speed trap
[FAIL] Drifted between lanes
[FAIL] Attempted to change lane without signalling or checking mirror
[FAIL] Used cell phone again
[FAIL] Attempted to change lane without signalling or checking mirror nearly causing accident again
[FAIL] Drifted between lanes again
[FAIL] Over took on bend with limited visibility
[FAIL] Did not check mirrors before pulling away
[FAIL] Did not signal before pulling away
[FAIL] Drove slowly on wrong side of road looking for parking place
[FAIL] Did not signal before entering parking place
[FAIL] Did not check mirrors before entering parking place
My friend is a nice person, who is open-minded, doesn't smoke and speaks reasonable English. Yet he sincerely believes he is a good driver. However any objective analysis shows his driving is dangerous and poor. I believe this his is not his fault, as he's been clearly trained by a complete monkey.
I always say the Chinese man is mostly a gorilla in habit action and appearance.
Woman just a little better or I'm just partial to the female kind lol

Figured I'd add to this thread that holders of a Belgian driver's licence type B (personal car) are allowed a C1E licence in China, without written or practical tests. How? Thus:
You'll have to bring an officially translated version of your Belgian licence, plus your passport, plus a visa with at least 3 months validity, plus some pictures, plus a police residence registration, plus a basic health assessment to the police office.
Key is to point out to the translator's office that Belgians are allowed to ride motorcycles of up to 125 cc using their car licence (if the licence is issued before May 2011, that is). They will add that to the translation. Since the Chinese law does not make a difference in cc, the police will issue a motorcycle licence along with your car licence, without doing any written or practical tests!
Why Belgians are exempt from practical and written tests is beyond me. It seems to be the only nationality enjoying such preferential treatment.
Hi
Sorry to say but a UK car driving license is the same but only up to 50cc before a certain date this is how I got my Chinese C1E with out haveing a full UK motoerbike license!! . Now my next question is have you obtained a full Chinese C1E without sitting the Chinese theory test! based on what you have just posted !!
China / Belgium have a special agreements due to a diplomatic incident in the late 90's and very easy, hassle free and efficient for Belgian citizen to obtain a China driving license, thought you know it all and better....Quote:

This is theory, i do not know anybody who has tried to travel with Polish Driver license in China.
On the other hand, i know that the Chineese People can drive in Poland with Chinese driver license without problems.
They must only translate it to Polish.
