Growing car culture causing havoc on China's roads

New statistics have been released in China revealing that nearly 90,000 people have died in traffic accidents in the country this year.

Our China correspondent, John Taylor, reports car sales in China are booming by about 50 per cent per year, in a nation once jammed with bicycles.

China's official news agency says traffic accidents in the first 10 months of this year claimed 85,666 lives and injured more than 400,000 people.

The high accident rate is blamed on the combination of new drivers, poor roads, and a lax attitude to traffic laws.

The new statistics reinforce China's growing reputation as one of the world's most dangerous places to drive.
