You ran over my foot!!!

Beep, beep! Who has the keys to the Jeep?

Hopefully, not a Chinese driver!

Driving skills here are extremely different than home. I wonder if people even need to take driver’s training. The rules of the road are largest to smallest. This means pedestrians don’t matter. If you are in the way then you get hit. Chinese people are not fast drivers, but they are very impatient and often make their own lanes, which causes more traffic than help clear it up. Another awkward thing is that people have no concept of being on the wrong side of the street. Just today I almost crashed into a scooter because he decided that he would go the opposite direction with 20 scooters coming his direction. I often see this and it is upsetting. Another thing that is annoying  is that scooters and bikes are often on the sidewalk and people walk in the scooter/bike lane. It makes no sense to me. There is no order in the sense of how one would recognize it in the US. If a Californian were to drive in China they would be dead. We drive way too fast for the crazy stunts people pull here. I think they drive slowly because they are all over the place like ants to candy.

Pray for your life when you enter a taxi. They drive all over the place!
