They can drive, but they do it the Chinese way. It is normal to cross the line into oncoming traffic to get by another car. It is normal to turn a two lane road into three or four lanes. It is normal to use your horn a lot in traffic. It tells people you are coming through. I have an expat friend who has his license and they taught him when to use the horn. What looks like chaos to us somehow works for them. However, when they take these driving skills abroad it does look like they can't drive.

Don't generalize. It only takes 1 Chinese person (Chinese citizen or one person of Chinese descent) to prove it wrong. They are so many I'm sure at least 1 has to be able to drive.

You don't travel much, do you?
You should visit India and a few African countries, like Nigeria, just to expand your horizon.

They can drive if they learn but most of they just can't afford a car.

BECAUSE..... in the mainland, its something great to own a car.
no matter its a cab, truck, buses or anything that moves that require a motor to power it, has doors. they think that they are much more superior IF they are driving.

I understand you point of view, I guess they can drive but with so many cars on there roads, take Beijing and Shanghai specilly at rush hour I guess road rage does spring up time to time

face-reality

that aint true............... i have a lot of chinese friends and they definitely drive much better than you....

happyman

on the contrary, chinese people drive quite well, if you had to drive under the same conditions, i'm sure you wouldn't do as well as they do. conditions are crowded and accidents are few considering those conditions, i have spent time in guangzhou, beijing and shanghai, and that is my opinion

Chinese can't drive!?!? We chinese people can drive 10 times you people can. We usually aren't the ones that spiked up with drugs and alcohol and drive!

You gotta travel and learn more.

Who says they can't drive? It is just their way of driving and that doesn't go with your style of driving.

The ""chaos" you'll see on the streets is normal for them. Here in China it is normal to drive 4 cars next to each other in a two lane street. It is normal to pass another car on the right and then cut in front of it to make a left turn.

What is chaos to us works well for them. I have been living in Chongqing, China for over a year now and am still surprised you don't see many accidents on the roads.

They're like everybody else

What do you expect, after years peddling rickshaws!

cuz they aren't allowed (only a small amount of people are allowed) to have cars or drive in their country....so they come here get cars/licences (God knows how???) and don't know what the hell they are doing!

Because they get "disoriented"!
