You can't fix stupid. I just accept it as the byproduct of living in China. However, if someone intentionally tries to run me off the road (it happens), they're changing the rules.

True, I find that theres literally no policing for the driving policy in China too. I see the police but I never see anyone obeying the traffic signs and laws. Whats up with this ? Whats the point of even having these rules if noone follows them?

The ideal vehicle is the civilian version of the Marauder as featured in British motoring program Top Gear, with Richard Hammond. Excellent candidate vehicle for dealing with PRC traffic.

Here in little china (Vietnam) They drive exactly same!! drives me crazy sometimes!!
i can handle those morons who drives straight, but those who just don't want to wait red light turns to green and decide its a good thing to come front of me! some times i just want to teach them a lesson, but as a foreign citizen and driving a bike, I don't want to crash to them as I might hurt my self and even worse, my bike!

been thinking that would it be grazy idea to mount paintball gun in the bike? would this be overkill?? ;)
Attachment 14024

Nothing's overkill in Asia.

I was thinking of installing a little egg support so to be able to throw eggs at anyone anytime, now I'm thinking of golf balls support instead, damn.

Today I didn't slap but pretended to slap and touched the top of the skull of an idiotic E-bike rider after avoiding her in-extremis, situation depicted here:

Oh I hate when they do this, and there's one every single time I turn right with little visibility.

I'm afraid I'm gonna end up carrying chains like that around if things keep escalating...

I'm hearing you Braillce... happens here too, way too often... yet if someone else does the same thing, watch out!

As to the oral sex... I would not know the flavour of my sister.

Mate.. I get of my bike/car.. grab them by the neck.. abuse the crap out of them and then go on my way.. It's so good at relieving the frustration. The other thing is legally your vehicle hasn't hit them so they'd need to take a civil action against you.
