Lane splitting in China...



from :
Straddling buses will be made to fit under city overpasses. Shenzhen Hashi predicts that each of the vehicles' cabs will carry 300 passengers at a time (up to 1,400 passengers in all) and will reduce traffic by up to 30% on crowded roads.

Presumably there would be safeguards for that.

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

imagine sitting there in traffic and this rolling over you -- it would be like Ahab before being swallowed by the whale...

Ha ha ha seriously! I work in Shenzhen sometimes. Some places the lines on the road are kind of decoration more than lanes. People drive where-ever the hell and pack into any space. This thing would think them out quite a bit.  Evil

Chinese safeguards aren't very reassuring! You can use your toothpaste as antifreeze over there.
