Nobody regards traffic lights. Not just the drivers, but the pedestrians too. The time I was closest to going postal here in Beijing was when I was stuck in a taxi at a 4 way intersection for 30 minutes. Red light? People go straight/left turn on a red light, cutting off traffic, people trying to go straight can't ******* go on a green light because of people turning, pedestrians are constantly crossing every which way HOLY **** did I want to get out of the taxi and break some skulls.

my faves: the ultra slow motion head-on between the bicyclist and the moped with 2 people on it. the cyclist was stopped for 2 seconds and still the moped plowed over him in slow motion

the guy bicycling around with an umbrella covering his whole head - not sure if the umbrella was obscuring his vision but it looked like it to me. car knocked the umbrella straight into the air and he did a faceplant

the guy hanging out in the middle of the intersection. literally just standing there. not sure if the car hit him on purpose but i would have been tempted to myself if i was driving

the four ladies also right in the middle of the intersection, but incredibly, they seem to be having some kind of conference right in the middle!!. shuttle golf cart-looking thing takes out two out of four...does it get extra points for getting all four?

As well, I almost rear-ended an Asian man today since he decided to make a right hand turn, into the middle between the center and middle lanes while I was going straight on the right hand lane. When I honked my horn at him, he gave me the finger. Buddy, you should be lucky I didn't hit you... and not just with my car.

i've been in one accident in my life......it involved an older korean lady driving down a parking garage while i was driving up. she didn't understand the concept that traffic goes both ways in that garage and was driving on the wrong side, rounded the corner, and BOOM the cars collide. it was at a casino in detroit so go figure

Well it depends. While nobody really follows the traffic rules to the letter, there are some unwritten rules. If you rear-end another car, it's automatically your fault. Vehicles going straight through an intersection have right of way over those that are turning. Faster and larger vehicles have right of way over slower and smaller ones. Etc.

I'm surprised no one died or passed out.

They need common sense with the traffic lights.

Why does a cyclist think it's a good idea to glide right through an intersection without looking or yielding. Then they get up and brush it off like it happens all the time.

The one at 2:05 is the best.
2:21 is good too. Let's just stand in the middle of this intersection and wave good bye to each other. "Here comes the trol---."

there is a the video of the russian highway/throughway/tunnel that has all those major accidents.

the **** is major though.. like bigtime accidents. i guess the stereotypes you could apply is that they share some mongolian blood and are probably drunk?

Holy f*ck, that's ridiculous. Do those intersections just not have signals or signs? What's really astonishing is that the drivers don't appear to ever slow down before colliding--as if no one is looking in front of themselves to begin with.
