Love the way the bus doesn't stop and hold up the traffic to keep the little one safe.

It's OK, that's his daily commute to the <insert generic sports shoe manufacturer name here> factory and he's been doing it daily for the last year. . . . . .

Times are changing in China, only a few years ago they would have just run the toddler over and carried on.

It's simply not in their culture, they are a nation of either observers or getting on with their own business.

In China you have to pay for the hospital treatment of any pedestrian you injure when driving. That can be a recurring cost depending on the injury and can run into many thousands.

However, if you kill a pedestrian you dont have to worry quite so much. For that reason, a couple of weeks before my recent visit, a driver had been caught on CCTV reversing over a pedestrian because he wanted to ensure they were dead!

I hate watching that. It truly is shocking how they don't help her. But I guess that is the Chinese culture for you..

Did she survive? I never really got round to finding out.

Or as in the recent case, the young couple buried the elderly woman they hit with their car.


Only she wasn't dead when they buried her. She is now.

Sadly, no...

Shocking that noone stopped to intervene. All the same, the little boy, if he survives long enough, might make F1. He must have nerves of steel.
