What's the difference between driving in China and the United States after emigration?

traffic jam

This is not the case in China. We often see people stuck in a pot of porridge at crossroads. American drivers either stop where they are or step back and let other cars go first. And the drivers in China are pushing forward, otherwise they will never walk. However, even in the United States, what happened in the above picture will happen occasionally.

Pedestrian priority

In America, cars give way to pedestrians, who always come first. According to the traffic rules, "even if pedestrians cross the road illegally, drivers should stop and let pedestrians go first, because a person's life is more important than anything else." But at the same time, pedestrians in the United States generally obey traffic rules. Even if the green light turns right, slow down first and see if there are any pedestrians on the sidewalk on the right, then walk. If there is a pedestrian, no matter how slow he walks, no matter whether he is still a certain distance away from you, he must stop and wait. Grab the road with pedestrians, and you will still be punished if you don't negotiate!

In China, when the green light is on, vehicles and pedestrians who turn right at intersections are often seen grabbing the road. This is because the two countries have different traffic priorities. In the United States, pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles are in order, while in China, cars give way to big cars, cars give way to driving, and pedestrians give way to bicycles. Because there are too many people in China.

honk the horn

At this point, people who are used to honking in China should pay special attention when driving in the United States. In most cities in the United States, it is very impolite to honk your horn and urge other vehicles to do so.

Ambulances and police honked their horns.

When driving in the United States, as long as you hear an ambulance or police whistle, you should immediately lean to the right, stop quickly, and wait until the whistling vehicle passes before driving. Let's not talk about China. Everybody knows that.

6 violation of regulations

You find a police car behind the car. The lights are on and the alarm is ringing. Nine times out of ten, it means that you have violated traffic laws. In China, after being stopped by the traffic police, the driver may get off the bus with a certificate and negotiate with the traffic police.

Turn right at the red light.

In America, especially in Los Angeles, you can't turn right at intersections with many red lights. Be sure to read the sign clearly. When you turn right at the red light, you must stop for a few seconds. Even if there is no traffic coming from the opposite side and the left side, you should stop. In China, you can turn right at any time, and you will have an argument with pedestrians.

Change lanes

In the United States, it is rare to see people changing lanes frequently, because such behavior will cause unsafe hidden dangers. Always turn on the turn signal when changing lanes. But in China, lane change is the most common phenomenon. You don't say hello in advance, so rear-end collisions often happen.

Highway accident

In the United States, when there is a car accident on the expressway, the traffic police will put a cold light candle (windproof) on the ground at least 200 meters away to remind you to change lanes. The cold candle will be connected into a long diagonal line of fire, and the driver behind will have enough time to avoid the fault area. In China, traffic police put fluorescent warning signs dozens of meters away at most. When drivers see them, there will only be a few seconds of reaction time before the faulty car.

What annoys the police the most?
