Foreigners driving in China: not only an eye-opener and scared胆颤

The English word "China Daily" reported on September 14: foreigners driving in China can be a frightening experience胆颤can also be a chance of an eye-opener. "China Daily" editorial Australian white Cheng for foreigners in China made a brilliant driving experience description: Sat rental, new home from the airport to the way the Chinese excited, filled with legend and look forward to. Horizon Tower in the construction of the cut, albeit not very clearly that China's economic take-off ready. BMW speeding silver and white, and Chandrika China carts has passed, lifestyle changes, opportunities in China and spread to every corner. When you are in the back seat of car vision for the future, when suddenly a black car and the shuttle, and your heart was一震, just the roar still perturbed, while the taxi is still moving, in turn put view is that the noise and noisy streets. Three-lane highway, and the actual traffic seems to be four-lane road. Can not meet the requirements of the highway, many drivers would be free to shuttle between different lanes, and some are even in the two-lane to create their new independent Road. No one with light, the only car of the wah-wah trumpet voices. Suddenly, a car cut in front of your driveway without any symptoms, your heart will certainly speed up again. Welcome to the country's central road network, the world's fastest growing consumer markets of motor vehicles. Similarly, according to the latest government statistics, every year, such a transport system engulfed the lives of 89,000 people, with an average daily death toll of up to 245 people. In the past five years, millions of people joined the ranks of car owners. Beijing only one district, every day there are more than 1000 new vehicles entering the highway, without the experience of driving and the rising traffic has also increased the risk of potential traffic. Despite the high risks, many foreigners still choose to meet this challenge. Because the driver's license gives them greater freedom赏景adventure. Live and work in the big cities of the foreigners, with the driver's license can be arbitrary or less on a whim to drive to enjoy the fun of travel, rather than a trouble to the rental fee. 32 friends every weekend to carry a drive at the foot of the Great Wall is really fantastic feeling. Most foreigners in China have come from a rich cultural background of the country car, driving has become a habit. They have four-wheel-driving teens into the era of the experience of road traffic to deal with China is of great benefit. When you understand the traffic chaos is the norm, you will learn to adapt and drive safely. To get driver's license, you must participate in the examination rules of the road (see chapter in this off), but also to participate in and submit the form to experience. But also the title of a 1000 reference book to read. Some of them on the Chinese road markings, but not much. The reference price is 150 yuan (20 dollars), but 5 years is also a valid driver's license less than 30 yuan (4 U.S. dollars). China's most important is the right side of the road traffic toll. Patient is very important to follow the crowd away. Irritability of the foreigners not to test driver's license. There is no turn signal and no overtaking signs occur, it would provoke a general drive foreigners, especially Westerners. Suddenly jump the queue and is also common, so people will not have the patience to choose the best or taxi travel. But the real surprise is that China's harmony between drivers. In addition to the driving behavior of those rampage, such as high-speed on a busy road suddenly to a U-shaped turn, the vast majority of Chinese drivers are very tolerant, do not mind. In China because I basically did not get the car off the road caused a quarrel, which is different from the West. I am in the United States or Australia when driving, have seen a person driving a "road" junction also catch up with the next beat隔着车窗. In China, however, this kind of thing is extremely rare. China's transport also need a rule: it is to know how to drive safely. Ride a motorcycle and truck drivers to drive than the average person is more familiar with this way of thinking. Safe driving is to the traffic conditions on the surrounding sensitive files in accordance with changes in addition and subtraction. Seasoned truck drivers and people riding a motorcycle every 34 seconds on the concept of looking after a mirror. They will always pay attention to two or three hundred meters in front of both sides of the streets and roads to prevent accidents from taking place. The majority of drivers do not concentrate on the case, but in China's roads, especially in the rural roads, safe driving is a matter of life and death. Recently, driving to the Inner Mongolia, we have an unlimited extension of the highway逡巡, spectacular scenery of the countryside. Under the blue sky is the flocks of sheep, the grass is绿绿horse in the running, as if on the back to the era of Genghis Khan. This is a foreigner in China, the engine driver's license test. 300 meters in front of the intersection, a truck overloading the main road towards the轰隆隆. Truck driver all of a sudden U-turn to me there is no traffic here, I do not have any danger. But I see that great blue Well, I immediately step on the brakes, because I know that He has to go to where the truck will not stop. Driving in the countryside is also a danger that the transport trucks and high-speed overtaking game between drivers. This game is a bit like fighting cocks overtaking. Do not fall into this madness, if your car has a lot of cars, let them be. Do not step on the accelerator 130 or 140km / h. Faster, brake response time longer. Speed to maintain distance between vehicles or road vehicles in less time re-acceleration. Although we mention the "traffic deaths," but very little road kill, death is a real driver. Occurred on the road 90% of the disabled are caused by malpractice. Speeding the worst, 30% of traffic deaths caused by this, followed by fatigue driving and drunken driving. Driving in China, so the worst and be vigilant at all times is the safest method, of course, is to drive anywhere, in China's drive to be more focused, which is more costly than that of God in Australia and more easily tired. Every two hours must be stopped and then re-clear the road. Before long-distance travel in the car looking for maps to be a plan is a good idea. China's roads extending in all directions there are tens of thousands of Internet service area, but the parking lot of a break point of the town is worth a go, where you can see is different from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, the true face of China. Many place names are marked out by the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet, so before the travel advisory in your Chinese friends. They may know some of the secret channel, or can also tell you how to pay less road tax. However, driving in the city is different, although somewhat chaotic city traffic, but it does not seem so dangerous. Mainly due to the speed of traffic is not fast. I have recently carried out in Beijing, a gun, speed table shows the average speed is 18km / h. Frequent stop-start and slow traffic so that drivers have enough reaction time. If you are a reasonable schedule, you will find that there are a lot of loopholes can be boring. Road to the transfer but when, we do not hesitate to take the initiative. Smile no matter how many eyes, it will not take the initiative to give way to you, you have to fight for a way out of their own. At this time a foreigner driving experience can be a useful. In addition to 40-year-old other than that most of the Chinese people to drive less than 5 years. Motorists travel in China is still a relatively new experience, a lot of people are still learning to judge the space to adapt to engine speed and control. Foreigners and their peers more than the Chinese people for more than 20 years experience on the road. They can accurately determine the position and distance and safe speed, compared to less experienced drivers around China, so that the action they have repeated thousands of times, but it is not to be too arrogant. Finally, a reminder: to drive the foreigners can adjust their behavior, but can not control how other people drive, so please be careful! (China Daily)
