Chinese drivers could become good rally car drivers.

as for Australia We drive to fast.We try and do what the Chinese do at a higher speed and it dosen't turn out very well.
and I still see the just dumb things people do on the road evey day
However I still say that Chinese daily test the theory that 2 objects can't occupy the same space and time.

Chinese drivers are absolute crap compared to where I'm from. No concept of other people, I've seen more people driving on the wrong side of the road here than ever, no concept of what a lane is for, inability to park a vehicle or know how large their vehicle is...total mess. 

That said, I try not to hold it against them as many didn't grow up with cars the way I did.

where i am from people stick to the rules for the most part, and get nailed by the myriad of patrol cars out daily if they dont.

So most people drive with a better sense of other trafric. Its called defensive driving... however here, they suck horribly, so maybe i could call it offensive driving?

 I have been to 12 countries. Relatively speaking, I feel most drivers in the UK and Japan follow the rules. If you compare them to China, they all are much better than Chinese drivers. At least, they fasten the seat belt.

In the small cities, cars run in curved line and try to cut in. If you sit in the care, you will be in a cold sweat. 

To put it bluntly; Chinese drivers suck. If this was a nation of law, most would be off the road overnight and never allowed back in a vehicle. Ever.

Most of the Chinese drivers I know bought their license, which is quite evident when they actually take to the road.

I think the driving here could best be call "controlled chaos".  At home Chinese drivers get a bad rap, but after living here I understand now.  They are just used to driving in China rules be damned...driving on the wrong side of the road, running red lights on the wrong side to avoid the camera, giving absolutley NO ONE right of way.
I don't drive in China but last time I went home I got into a fight with a tractor-trailer truck and lost.  First accident in 20 years, abliet very minor fender bender.  It's because after watching the Chinese drive for too long here, I go home and drive like a crazy person.  I am more careful now.

The Hot Wheels miniature cars I had as a kid had less accidents.

To me, in all honestly, if I compare driving in China with other countries, would have to say that if you want a BS in driving, get it anywhere in USA.
For a Master Degree go to New York City, but for a Phd you must come to China. 
And it has been my observation that it is not really a lack of laws and regulations, but a lack of means of enforcing those existing laws.  Here, Traffic Police just stands at intersections while traffic light controls traffic.  Since they are on foot, when someone runs a red light there is no chase.  Only once I have seen two officers in motorcycles handing out traffic parking tickets, and they even have a digital camera to back up the ticket with photos of the car, location and license plates.

I do drive here cars and electrical bike, and a few things still puzzle me.  Among them, I will list a few below:
1.- Usage of car horn.  As I understand it, here you blow the horn before doing anything normal or crazy.  Why so much horrn blowing?.  Back home it will be a ticketed offense for unnecessary noise.
2.- When stopping at a red light, almost 90 % of local drivers will get the car on neutral (or park), set emergency brake and turn car engine off.  Why?.  When light turns green, some do not react quickly enough, and the horns start blowing.  Is this to save two yuans on gas?
3.- When it rains, hardly any driver will turn wippers on continuously, they just take one wipe and back off again.  Why?  Affraid the wipper blade will wear off?
4.-  Basically there are two types of drivers in China, those that always go as fast as possible like they own the road, and those that drive at 20 Kms/hr and still feel they own the road.
5.- Why, when turning at an intersection, local drivers must come to a full stop, and then proceed to turn?.   Why make a right turn from the farthest left lane with cars on other lanes, just blow horn and turn.  Back home that is a sure traffic ticket.
6.- There is no concept at all of right of way, or yield the right of way.  Here, blow horn and continue, and the bigger one goes and the smallest better stop.
7.- Seat belts here are a decorative item on the car.
