Thread: The D4 in China

There was a perod in time when our SF guys all drove Patrols with very H tinted windows....is this the same do you think?

What I noticed about the one driving was everyone got out of its way quickly so I assume it was someone they didn't want to mess with.

The others have very dark tint.

The driving and traffic in Shanghai and Beijing is just simply incredible in its scale. They drive on what seems to be some hive mind method with only the occasional hit.

If you ever come here don't assume right of way on a pedestrian crossing.

I've been to China 11 times over the last 2 and a bit years for work, mostly to Shanghai, but with 1 trip to Beijing.

As you say, the traffic is absolutely horrific, and crossing a road even at the "green man" you are still taking your life in your hands. You can't even rely on cars/bikes/mopeds actually coming from the correct direction either.
It's truly scary.

The standard of driving is something akin to a demolition derby, but without the impacts, and it is compulsory to drive with one hand on the horn.

I didn't see any D4s in my travels over there, but did see a couple of FL2s, definitely civilian owned rather than government though.
