開車習慣 - 文化差異

※ 引述《ShiningRuby (閃亮紅寶石女王)》之銘言：
: 美國是行人最大,只有車讓人沒有人讓車,
: 行人通常都不看路直接就蹦出來把人嚇一跳,
: 或者是遠遠看到車來了卻照樣用晃的過馬路,
: 就是非逼車子停下來等他不可,
: 只有黃種人會看路會想要讓車.....
: 我不是在說行人一定要讓車,
: 只是那種看都不看撞到我是你沒長眼睛的態度讓我很不以為然.....
That is absolutely correct.

In Europe, most of the car drivers will give way to nearly everything;
pedestrians, cats, dogs, sheep, cows, deers, etc.
I used to stop by the street to wait for the coming car passed; and the
drivers used to stop to wait for me walking across the street.
Then I would smile and wave my hand to the driver and let them go first;
and so did they. This usually ended up both stopped and looked at each other.
However, we were happy because we both were respected, by the others and by
ourselves. Walking was a sort of fun.

In Taipei, even the traffic light is green for pedestrians, there can still be
cars or motocycles running across pedestrian lanes. They can even keep
their speed fast enough to threat the pedestrians' safety.
Being a pedestrian, I don't really like a car or motocycle passing behind me
or in the front of me in that situation.

Who said Taiwan was 'a country of human right'?
Do you believe that?

When I saw the buses' entry (no bus got friendly entry for baby carts and
wheelchair users), I cannot recognise I am in a developed country.
