Jonsims, you'd grab a woman by the neck and "abuse the crap out of them" because they had a lapse of judgement on their e-bike? What a tough guy...

No one here is talking about lapses of judgement.

We are talking about the choice almost all E-bike, bicycle or tricycle make:
- to burn every single red light regardless of conditions
- to take every single 1 way bicycle or car lane the wrong way regardless of conditions
- to cut through every traffic regardless of conditions forcing eventual incoming users into going down or miraculously succeeding an emergency braking + last 5 feet elusive maneuver

They put themselves and plenty nearby street users in danger ALL THE TIME & ANYWHERE, just cause they don't like to stop & cause they're anonymous on non-plated vehicles.

It's no lapse of judgment, it's a choice, it's selfish, reckless and outrageous as it costs LIVES, and not always the life (or not just the life) of the one who created the situation BY PURPOSE.

So if I join u on the fact that it's not OK, I'd like better to see a woman being abused by Jonsims than seeing that woman forcing a car filled with a cute family into oncoming traffic or into pedestrians on the side of the street.

Grabbing someone by the neck and "abusing the crap out of them" is still tantamount to assault. But hey it's China, laws are rarely enforced here so I guess it's ok.

Exactly right.

The fact that people are reckless idiots is due to education. The people don't think for themselves, they've been taught what to do and think by the government, so it's up to them to control the situation and educate them. It's not up to some laowei to assault a Chinese person to 'educate' them how to ride an ebike. In their mind their rationalization is 'it's OK other people do it too'.

I hope you're joking.....if you can't handle Chinese traffic without getting physical you should really just leave the country. By all means shout at them in Chinese and tell them that they are doing is dangerous and swear at them in English or your native tongue if it helps you vent.

Nobody will learn anything from your actions, other than 'I hate Laoweis now'.

We talk about things will would like to do but in relativity we dont !

'I hate Laoweis now'

I have seen Chinese bike riders who have been cut up stop and pulled people out and off there E-bikes /cars and got smacked so now Chinese hate Chinese as well !!! so i cant see it is just Laoweis who get upset .....
