Let's compare what's comparable: we’re talking about a guy who’s driving a 150 cc scooter (I know that kind of Chinese scooter and they are cheap and shit) without helmet, fake plates, wearing a t-shirt who run a red light on wulumuqi road / hengshan road intersection during traffic time.

I’m familiar with that intersection and I wouldn’t have run it: I don’t do this systematically, I do it wisely and cautiously, meaning: on smaller street, by making a full stop, wait for good visibility on both sides and then go if fully safe (no cars): I ain’t gonna cross an important traffic road like hengshan road/huai hai road/Beijing xi road at 7.30AM. Hell no, I even slow down at every (and I mean every) green light cuz I know that there is a lot of dumb fucks here who respect nothing, not even common sense.

Plus, there’s a difference between a motorbike driver who ride full gear and a scooter driver with shit brakes that usually enjoy the wind in his hair while riding up to 50km/h.

I feel sorry for him, sorry for the family, and I will unconsciously be more cautious toward the circulation in the future days, but I’m not gonna change the way I drive because of this incident.

For your information there’s an average of 6 people being killed every day on 2 wheels here in Shanghai which is about 0.01% of the total population of the city. Are people going to start wearing helmet while driving scooters? I don’t think so. It’s a question of law enforcement and level of awareness and at the moment none of these 2 applies here.
