Asian Driving





Beijing puts 1500 new autos on the streets each week, lots of cars in China. I have lived in China and Cambodia now over 5 years. I have never seen a STOP SIGN in China or Cambodia and have only seen 5 accidents, l serious and 4 fender benders. They drive offensively where we drive defensively.
They blow their horn, saying here I come, and never look in either direction. There are a few signal lights in cities with population of 800k or more.

In Cambodia, small children ride motorcycles like the one shown in picture before they can walk.
All 3 picture are from Siem Reap. There is a river running through Siem Reap and along the river is where I walk everyday.
