4 casualties per day on Shanghai's streets A report by the traffic police showed that on average 4 people die every day on Shanghai's streets. Although that's a very high figure, it does not surprise me. Most drivers have hardly any experience driving (most people just got a car in the past 1-2 years) and also driving lessons don't really help: in China they teach you to drive a car in a traffic compound without any real traffic. That, together with pedestrians and cyclists that have no clue about traffic rules, gives a perfect playground for nasty accidents. 12:56:35 PM    comment []
