Advise...

Many years ago when I first started riding a bike in China, someone gave me a great piece of advice. He said assume everyone is going to do the most stupid thing imaginable. Assume every driver will pull out without indicating or looking in their mirror. Assume every driver is going to turn without indicating or stop for no reason. Assume every pedestrian will walk out in front of you without looking.
I followed this advice and it has saved me numerous times. Touch wood, 11 years or riding/ driving in Asia and not a scratch. Serious recommend this advice to anyone driving here.
