I have to take my drivers test again on Saturday and I am pretty stressed about it. It’s not that I don’t know what to do on the road, it’s a learning style thing. Apparently the way you learn in China is to wrote memorise specific answers to questions and then match them up in a test. No wonder they are all such safe drivers here.
It gets to the point where I think, maybe I shouldn’t get behind the wheel here. Some of the questions want you to answer no when the answer is logically yes. That is the worst part. One fine (right or wrong) example is: the passengers and pedestrians must act in accordance with the traffic laws of the People’s Republic of China. You would think the answer to this is right, but it is in fact wrong. From a legal standpoint the passengers and pedestrians do have to obey the traffic rules, however the test wants you to have memorised the whole quote from the rule book which mentions drivers, passengers and pedestrians. So the correct answer for the test is wrong.
My current favourite question is:
When a motorized vehicle breaks down on the expressway, the persons on board should swiftly move to the front of the vehicle for hiding. WTF
You are going to kill somebody with rage at their stupidity if you start driving there man!

Hummers are good for crushing zombies …

Crushing things is good whether it is zombies or people that can’t drive properly, so seeing as how there are almost one and a half billion people that can’t drive properly here, maybe a hummer is a good idea; if I was Russian I would go with hot pink.
Dammit, I can’t link in the comments. Oh well. Just imagine that the word “Russian” above was linked to this photo:

My suggestion would be to drive a rather large road roller.

OMG, that photo is fully sick bro! (I nearly fell off my chair laughing my ass off at that thing – the rings are soooo extra special!)
