This Is Why We Have Stop Lights

I’d like to say that no one was harmed in the making of this video, but when you go through so many car-on-car, car-on-bike and bike-on-bike collisions in such a short amount of time, well, that’s just being unrealistic.

Thank goodness these Chinese neighbourhoods have invested so much more in CCTV than in stop signs. And I do genuinely hope the dozens of people getting banged up here are all made it out at least relatively OK. [Reddit]

    I find it amazing how few of those cyclist/motorcyclists actually looked for oncoming traffic.

    The best bit was when they hit each other

    No surprises here, although I didn’t know that they were such bad bike riders as well hahaha

    While vehicular injuries are a serious matter, I feel little or no pity for anyone entering an intersection without looking for oncoming traffic.
    As for the poor pedestrian at 2:00, though..

    and the fact that they don’t even look when going through the intersections…

    If I just nearly passed out from laughing so hard, does that make me a bad person?
