#1 A good video to remind us all how dangerous the roads are in china07-09-2013, 05:54 PM
I was sitting in a chinese police station the other day watching a video being played on a TV. Now i have found the video i would like to post, not just for us but for all the people who dont live in china can see how dangerous the road are here ..
And for all the other who do live here just a good reminder .
The sad part about the video is how many of the accidents could of been prevented
by just teaching good road sense and traffic awareness
As the old saying goes you can take a horse to water but you can't make him drink it
sorry some advertising at the start and please drag back to start after the advertising to see full video
warning some images may be disturbing Viewer discretion advised!

You can find other posts on MCM that link to many Youku videos of motor vehicle road crashes within mainland Ch!na. There is a whole thread dedicated to the subject on MCM.

OK, got it. I'll be careful not to run red light without looking and get a Darwin award.

Here is an interesting Wiki article on traffic related fatalities.
China is not the worst, they do have large numbers though, you can sort the data and draw your own conclusions.
China has the second highest total number of fatalities per year with 68k after India with 142k the USA with 33k.
Road fatalities by 100k by inhabitants per year is one way to look at the numbers and in that China has (5.1) per 100k inhabitants and less then the USA with (12.3).
What is missing though is the ratio of fatalities per vehicle count…..bet the ranks as ratios change with that considering there are less cars and likely higher numbers of fatalities for china.
The highest numbers, that being the worst, for the nations with comprehensive data…Brazil is the second worst after the UAE
China is bent on being “number one” they likely will be and often are… but not on any lists of what would be considered positive.

The biggest thing I can't understand is the utter refusal of 98% of Chinese to wear seat belts or use child seats especially in the rear? Arrogance or stupidity?
However the other problems are caused by corruption, about half of the drivers on the roads have never really passed a test because they cheated their way though, so learn how to drive by copying the mistakes of other idiots.

Honestly, the way that most people drive around here, I'm surprised there aren't more fatalities. Everyone just drives like they're insane... Nobody cares about anybody else... It's nutty.
