In the "no regard for traffic regs" category, I vote for the Chinese. Once you get out of any of the major cities, traffic rules simply aren't followed or enforced. Some of the dumbest, most suicidal things I've seen occured in Mainland china. City buses running at night with no headlights/tailights. Changing a tire in one lane, putting the spare in the next and putting a tree branch in it to "alert" folks. Of course it was night and the lights on the truck were out. Or how about the road crews who dig open pits in the road to presumably fix something, but don't bother to cone it off. Over this 4-5 mile stretch, they had about 8 pits dug, half had a car in it. Red lights don't mean stop, they merely mean other people may be getting in your way. It's nuts.

Never been there - and now I am sure I don't want to. Its sad that the communist mindset is so fatalistic to accept such a low value to life.
