hong kong chinese drivers?

the primary reason i do not drive my smallish lexus suv here in hk for more than 80 kilometers per annum is because, having learned how to drive in n.america, i am simply not good enough to park the beast in places where others all around me manage to very delicately stop their enormous mercedes 600 and bmw 700 series and porsche suvs after having pounded them on the narrow twisty and congested road system

i suspect the reason hk drivers have accident overseas is because the road is all of a sudden opened wide for them, and populated by not really very good drivers of the local variety in toys they call cars

for others, while in hk they are used to be driven around starting at age 4 by hired hands equipped with mobile phones in large vans, which i also detest on the narrow twisty roads

chortle cackle chortle chortle

now, that was enjoyable, the truth
