ed and ying Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 have told Ying, she needs to be able to drive. I have given her a copy of IL rules to study. We are discusing her taking some driving lessons in Beijing. She has never drive a car Link to comment
Dan R Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 We had discussed getting a Driver's license in China first but she has decided against it. Since she is inexperienced in China and the practices are different on the road, it seemed learning in China would create blocks to doing it correctly here. Also China speeds are much slower and passing rules etc not the same. So she is willing to wait for the license to learn the American way. Also when visiting China neither of us has need to know Chinese driving laws as there is no need to drive. Link to comment

cosmiclobster Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Chinese driving lawsNow there's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one!Yes, and what's this about passing rules? The only rule I saw was that if your car is ahead of the next guy you can go or turn anywhere you want to! Link to comment
Yuanyang Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I don't drive when in China. I just try to keep my eyes closed when we're in a cab or look at her. Link to comment

The only rule I saw was that if your car is ahead of the next guy you can go or turn anywhere you want to! I liked being driven around in those three wheeled carriers.. motorcycle engine powered.. those guys (and gals!) would drive anywhere, on the sidewalk, against traffic, in any pesdestrian lane. I found that this was maybe the best way to get somewhere fast during heavier traffic since they ignore all the laws and right of way... Link to comment

Found out the other day that here in Ohio, Ling has to take her test in English, but I will save this link so that she can practice. There is another one that Ling uses when proacticing, and in Chinese. Dean sent it to me. I will send to you. It takes a little navigating, but it is very usefull. Link to comment

For a few yuan, you hop on the back seat and weave your way to where you are going. I wasn't personally ready to risk my life (and I had Amy with me) but it would beat walking a mile or two!

She has never drive a carhowdy ed, yan zi took lessons in chengdu, which had to help -- she had never driven either, so i was thinking the same like you. she hasn't started lessons since she got to calif though. passed the written last month and she's scouting out the driver training schools. steve Link to comment
