THE MOTORING SECTION - an occasional series of rants about appalling Hong Kong driving and drivers.

I expect this to be futile since we are talking about a Saab driver, and anyone stupid enough to drive a Saab is probably incapable of taking on board any form of advice / info, but i'll give it a go. If anyone knows the driver of a gold Saab 9-5, reg HV8387, will you please pass on the following.

It is ok to do more than 30km/h, particularly on a long straight stretch of road.
It is NOT necessary to brake to 10km/h before every tiny turn in the road.
It is NOT necessary to come to a dead halt every time a bus comes in the opposite direction. The bus is on the opposite side of the road and will NOT hit you. That is what the white lines on the road are for - to keep opposing traffic from hitting each other.
