Driven...

I've driven the 600 turns of Maui without falling off the cliff. Have cruised along the rage filled highways of LA. Fully exhausted a little VW engine on the autobahn. None of those, however, can match the excitement of driving in Zhuhai/China.

It's not always a white knuckle experience but just have to fully alert at all times.

Right of way: Everyone has right of way all the time! I think the size of the vehicle ultimately decides who gets it though. Cars will bravely pull out onto incoming traffic - sometimes two or three lanes of traffic.

Yielding: don't need it. See above.

The "Shield": If you are stuck yielding to incoming traffic, have no worries. A car from behind will zip by you onto traffic thus giving you a shield to proceed.

Night Vision: some people have it, some people don't. Watch out for cars at night that don't turn on their lights.

High Beams: these are the folks that don't have night vision. They'll drive with their blinding xenon high beams on all the time.

Buses: Top of the food chain. Stay far away unless you drive a bus also.

Taxis: Fairly high up on the heirarchy, not because of their size but because of their agility. They can be 2 lanes to the right of you but will still u-turn at their will.

Fast Lane: They are all fast and slow at the same time. See obstacles.

Exits: If it's not your exit on the highway, stay away from it. Lots of people miss exits on the highway and will reverse their way back.

Must say cheeese: If you see a sign with a camera on it. Slam on the brakes to half the speed limit. If you are unsure of the sign you just saw, just leave some distance to the car in front of you.

Lane drifters: try not to cruise along side by side with another vehicle. Because they'll want to switch onto your lane no matter what.

Obstacles: Oh, there are so many....

-Humans- mostly found outside of the zebra crossings. Not too familiar with the laws of physics, so they aren't scared of cars. Best thing to do is to have a car about a car length ahead of you - so they can do the recon for you.

-Bikes- not so bad since they are usually going in the same direction as you. But the ones to watch out for are the ones riding towards you.

-Tractors- these guys are quite deceiving from a distance. Usually found in the "fast" lane.

Driving is still fun though.
