I got hit by a car.

I'm embarrassed to ask: What does TIC stand for?

TIC = This Is China (intended to be a comment on how "different" [illogical to us] China is from what we are used to)

Sad to say, but that video shows events that are surprisingly common. In Beijing, there is a DAILY 30 minute television show that recaps the prior day's gruesome traffic accidents caught on CCTV. There appears to be no shortage of material to broadcast. And, IMHO, Beijing drivers are light years ahead of the drivers in 2nd and 3rd tier cities. It must be because traffic moves at such a snail's pace.

Re: riding in bike lanes. I've had police tell me to get into them, and police tell me to get out of them. TIC
