THE END OF THE LINE FOR HONG KONG?

In a world exclusive the South China Morning Pointless reports that there is clear evidence that Hong Kong society is crumbling. Under a headline entitled "Double-lane dicers warned amid flyover jam" they report that during yesterdays rush-hour traffic jams, caused in large part by the rerouting of a large section of traffic on the busiest section of road in Hong Kong, at least 10 cars were seen crossing double white lines to get into the lane they needed to be in.

10 cars!!!!

Crossing a double white line!!!

Where will it all end? We're doomed I tell you. Doomed.

Of course in London it's not unheard of for people to drive over roundabouts, through parks, across central reservations and along the pavement to get out of a jam or into the right lane. And in LA they do all that while taking pot shots at each other.

But here in HK crossing double lines is front page news.

Doncha just love it.
