Car accidents in China
Don't think you want to drive in China after watching this video...especially a motorcycle.

Mate, I went there often and I always wear seat belts whenever available.
It is scary, but if you look at the video again. most of the accident is caused by pedestrian crossing at the wrong time, or bicycle crossing into path of car or bus or trucks.
Not by negligence driving but mroe by negligence pedestrian.
Other thing is in a country with that large a population the ratio of fatal accident there is quite small compared to other countries with tiny population such as Australia.
The whole population of Australia is about the same as the population of one city there.
Yet during Christmas or Easter holiday period yearly, there are more fatality in Australia than in any city in CHina over similar period of time.

Their road toll is 3 times Australias, probably unavoidable due to population and road condition.

Take away the three small countries & the UK is 2nd safest, which is bloody amazing when traffic density is taken into account.
