Dangerous Highways, Safe Cities 

Stop

Driving on Chinese highways is very dangerous. European people who are new in China who come to work in my office are often a bit terrified at the start due to the risky way cars and lorries overtake each other. High speeds + risky driving behaviour + many overloaded lorries + no-one wearking their seatbelt = lots of deaths.

In the cities themselves, the speeds are pretty slow. Car drivers need to keep a constant eye for people and bikes suddenly cutting across them - and because a car hitting someone often means the car driver having to negotiate a payment to the person they just knocked, the car drivers do act carefully (they still drive in a way that would make Westerners very worried, but they can brake in time each time some emergency comes up which is quite often).

Am I the only person who can't see anyone wearing any protective clothing??

I see one guy with a jacket over his head alright but I can't say I would class that as protective hahahaha.

Paris; cause even she wouldn't go out in that with only a jacket over her head for protection!

I wonder what sort of yellow hazardous cargo sign you need when you are carrying swarms of deadly bees on your lorry?

In future I will keep an eye out and make sure I have all my windows up when I see one,.

Reading too much of el Reg maybe? 

But was I the only one hoping that the Telegraph would have a playmobil reconstruction of the accident?

Inquiring minds want to know...

... were these robo-brain-control DARPA bees, by any chance?

Black helicopter, because it's all a CIA black-ops conspiracy. Probably.

So is this...

... where all the British bees have gone? Are the Chinese secretly swiping our bees?

@ Jason Croghan 

From what I've read, Paris has had more pricks than a second-hand dartboard.

Her biggest worry would be if it matched her outfit. Red polka dot frock I should imagine, and some prophylactics for protection

@AC, 12:30 

I wonder what the correlation is between the likelihood of pedestrians/cyclists darting out in front of cars; and the likelihood that they could receive cash for being hit?

Just a thought.

Stop

"There had been seven deadly accidents on the same section of road in three months, the newspaper said. "

...might be cursed?
