Vehicle Monitoring Camera Captures Rich Mainland Chinese Man Driving Ferrari in Singapore Crashing Into Taxi

At 4am in the early morning on the 12th, a speeding red Ferrari sports car ran the red light at an intersection in Singapore, crashing into a taxi. Apart from the Ferrari owner who died on the spot, the 52-year-old Singaporean taxi driver and a Japanese passenger who were in the taxi also died after been taken to the hospital.

United Evening News of Singapore says, the deceased was a 31-year-old Chinese man from Sichuan, who went to Singapore in 2008, engaged in finance and investment activities, and was in the process of applying for the right to permanent residency. The Straits Times says, the limited edition Ferrari driving by the perpetrator was worth more than 1.4 million US dollars.

AFP says, currently, there are over a million foreign workers and technical workers in Singapore, with Chinese taking up a great portion. After the incident, quite a few social groups have attacked the immigration policy of Singapore, saying that the current policy is making Singapore “become crowded and dangerous”. On the 14th, swarms of posts appeared on local Singaporean internet forums attacking Chinese expats, even calling them “rich locusts”.

Sichuan Rich in Singapore Crashes Car and Dies

Ferrari in a wreck.

At 4 in the morning of May 12th, a speeding red Ferrari sports car ran the red light at a intersection in Singapore and crashed into a taxi. Apart from the Ferrari owner who died on the spot, the 52-year-old Singaporean taxi driver and a Japanese passenger who was in the taxi also died after been taken to the hospital. United Evening News of Singapore says, the Ferrari owner is Ma Chi, 31 years old, from Sichuan province. When the incident happened, the Ferrari was carrying a young woman. [Ma Chi] went to Singapore in 2008, engaged in finance and investment activities, and was applying for the right to permanent residency. The Straits Times says, the limited-edition Ferrari driven by the perpetrator is worth more than 1.4 million US dollars. This accident is rapidly fermenting in Singapore, igniting xenophobia amongst Singaporeans, with calls such as “Throw Chinese out of Singapore！”

The Ferrari in a wreck.

The clip filmed by the car behind shows that the stoplight was red at around 4am in the morning when the Ferrari Ma Chi was driving crashed into the taxi at a speed over 100km/h, the massive impact causing the taxi to then hit another electric bike, the engine flying out into the middle of the road.

Ma Chi's family is heart-broken.

Ma Chi’s mother (second from the left) crying bitterly on her friend’s shoulder, his pregnant wife (back row) also in tears. Ma Chi’s wife He Tingting is a former news anchor for Sichuan TV station who is now pregnant was devastated after she and her 4-year-old daughter identified the body. She revealed that her husband left the house at 3am in the morning that day, wanting to “go out for a drive”. She also didn’t know who the female passenger in the car is, even asking reporters: “Who is she?”

Ma Chi bought the Ferrari involved in the accident last year to celebrate his 30th birthday.

Just before the crash, the crosswalk light shone green. The Ferrari (in the blue circle) runs the red light at high speed and hits the taxi on the side.

Deserves to die, but taking a Japanese person along with him is still not bad.

It’s one thing for you to have no/poor character, but you just had to go behave arrogantly in another country, getting up to no good just because you have some dirty money. It doesn’t matter if more people like you die!!!

人定胜天877999 [搜狐河南省郑州市网友]：

Deserved it! Embarrassing us abroad, investigate where this little bastard’s money is from, I bet he’s even more arrogant in the mainland!!!

弸中彪外351583 [搜狐浙江省杭州市网友]：

This pisses me off. Casting his pregnant wife and daughter aside to go out for a drive with another woman. Fuck, dying but taking others along with him, this kind of scumbag really is hated by both men and gods.

dpem [搜狐辽宁省丹东市网友]：

I wonder if the saying, “a stinky fish ruins the whole pot of soup” fits here, with good people having to suffer [because of this man].

玉爸不能109001 [搜狐湖南省长沙市网友]：

TM losing Chinese people’s face, good riddance!!!

搜狐铁杆 [搜狐河南省驻马店市网友]：

Has some dirty money and then went to another country to show off. Let more like him die, ding.

lornani [搜狐浙江省杭州市网友]：

Looks like he had a xiao san too?

人定胜天506188 [搜狐湖南省网友]：

Fuck, forgetting who their ancestors are. It’s indeed regrettable that such thing happened, but with the troublemaker already dead we needn’t go further denounce him. Instead, we need to look at how other people treat us Chinese, where one thing like this happens and they start saying Chinese should be kicked out of Singapore. Do you Singaporeans not get into deadly crashes? Those Singaporeans who are saying these things really have forgotten who their ancestors are.

别开生面697868 [搜狐广东省广州市网友]：

Damn it! Ruining China’s reputation. Look at the comments, who isn’t cursing him, who is pitying him? He hurt other people and took them along with him. Fuck, just because you have some money you’re no longer Chinese? And want to change your nationality? And it’s not like the money you earned wasn’t originall from the ordinary common people of mainland China anyway. Sooner or later it has to be paid back.

真知灼见72106 [搜狐贵州省遵义市网友]：

Damn short-lived guy, even dragging innocent people down with him in death. If you have a son, may he not have a JJ, and if it’s a daughter, maybe she be a whore for many generations to come.

神机妙算511477 [搜狐四川省内江市网友]：

With Chinese people, it truly is misdoings/calamity wherever they go .

月旦评221811 [搜狐山东省青岛市网友]：

Which country doesn’t have car accidents, so how can this be generalized? He’s merely one out of 1.3 billion Chinese. Whoever uses this incident to exclude all Chinese people has an axe to grind/ulterior motives. Which country is a land of pureness that its civilians make no mistakes? Are there not plenty of foreigners who commit crimes in China? This driver didn’t do it deliberately, and he has paid with his own life after all. Since it’s already happened, our countrymen should learn a lesson from it. Even if our nation’s population gets larger and larger, our lives are still likewise precious.

搏大精深278287 [搜狐辽宁省网友] (responding to above)：

No driver crashes a car deliberately, only beasts would do such a thing. But was this a regular car accident? This was because of speeding.

What do you think?

    Fuck 人定胜天506188, what so great and care about ancesters, if they were also shits and evil. You have to reflect what you have done wrong and the consequences that you have created and to be punished if necessarily.
    It does not happen to you and your famil, you just ask people to forget it so easily. What he has done bring shame to the local and overseas Chinese all over the world. He has also caused great suffering to the victims and family. Your attitude is just like the dead driver, no consideration of others, no feelings for others. So what your are a Chinese, it does not mean you are great and above others. As long as you are human being everyone is treated equal regardless of race, religion, colours, country. Ancestors or not, today is today, don’t hang on to the past. You have to do good to day so that the next generation will respect their ancestors. The dead Ferrari driver destroys everything even himself.

    • jeffli

      and now an Aston marten in Hongkong
      but the driver (from ShenZhen) didn’t die.

      what is it with mainlanders? They get rich buy a nice car and wreck it!

      sometimes even taking life with them.

      Why?

      • Mark

        Fuck the Chinese, they still behave like ANIMALS in another countries just like the way they behave in their country.well all i have to same about this Chinese is that if every other country can team up and send everyone of them in other country it will be better so that their country should be over populated so that the world should know that this red or which color i should even call them that they are more then 1.4billion they are talking about as for me this red people are more then 10billion,how are will sure that the guy did not know that there is a Japanese girl inside the car and at of the aggression for Japanese for over island and ancient fight they fight for long ago have to make him rush into that Taxi and kill the poor Taxi driver and the Japanese girl for just nothing.this is how they driver too in their country too behave like Animals,since i was born i have never see where you human being will see a car and is that car that will stop for him when is not even crossing time even when the traffic light is indicating that is car time just walk on the road like Zombies.i still say it china is developing but the people living in the country are still backwards but when they are in their country always prove they are the best for everything you people should go and learn more about civilization.

  • Xiongmao

    Ultimate douchebag. Disregards the light, going past 100, middle of the night with a hussy at his side with his pregnant wife left at home and a 4 year old daughter now without a father, + killed a hard working taxi driver and a young woman. I can’t help but laugh at the fact that he died, sadly it was too quickly, he really deserved to have suffered first. Maybe becoming a paraplegic would have been better, losing his ability to speak and see as well. Fucking bastard moron.

    Pointing out that someone is not representative for all Chinese, then immediately shifts to the current witch hunt against foreigners based on some Pakistani-British Muslim tourist chav. Brainless girl.

    • cc

      Your right all countries have there share of car traffic accidents, the trouble is that China has more than more than most. Mainly because none of you bastards have a clue how to drive a car, inconsiderate, blinkered, ignorant twats, you don’t deserve push bikes let alone cars.

      • An anonymous boy…

        Although you are an obvious troll:

        Its actually because their traffic safety laws (first established in 2003) aren’t fully developed and their culture is different. For instance, right of way in China is mainly seen as who is in the way first has the right. Thus, people will drive into oncoming traffic believing it is the responsibility of the other person to avoid the collision.

        • moop

          they drive just like they walk. straight forward and eyes looking at their cellphones instead of what’s in front of them, expecting everyone to part like the red sea for them. i’m sure that lady that fell through the sidewalk was doing the same thing. regardless of the cultural differences it still needs to change because there are too many chinese dying in traffic accidents. the traffic safety argument doesn’t hold too much weight considering how many chinese simply just buy a license, thats cultural too, or at least a pervasive societal ill, that money can solve any problem. the chinese won’t be able to drive well and improve their driving image until they learn to walk first

          • Little Wolf

            Haha…moop, that is what goes through my mind everytime I step out on the sidewalk.

            a-boy: CC is no troll and you can’t just accuse him of being one because you don’t like his argument. Also, you can’t make an argument about Chinese right of way as it simply does not exist.

          • Notorious

            I was in the car with a sixty year old chinese lady, a friend of mine who is a scientist at the university. we’re driving when all of a sudden she tries to enter the expressway, except the cars are coming toward us at 60-70 miles per hour. she managed to veer off before we’d fully gone onto the ramp. Several times she turned onto a street where cars are coming toward us. She’s a well respected scientist who speaks three languages, Chinese, Russian (she said they weren’t allowed to learn english when she was growing up, since americans were the enemy) and of course, she speaks english now.

            why is it that this woman who is so bright, accomplished, and studied (also a published author) such a terrible driver? She’s paying attention right?

            I don’t know the answer. What I wonder is whether or not students are given driving lessons with strict rules like they are here in america by the time they are sixteen? Does china’s driving laws ask that lessons are taken? Do people get a license before they can drive a car? What kind of guidelines are established? Or are people simply teaching themselves to drive?

            What is the problem?

          • moop

            “What I wonder is whether or not students are given driving lessons with strict rules like they are here in america by the time they are sixteen?

            i’m not aware of any highschools that have driving instructors, the driving age here is 18, but its rare to see a driver that young on the road. as of 2006 the average age of 32.4 years which is higher than most western nations. i’d say that’s probably pretty accurate today as well, the mean and mode seem to be around 30 years of age or so. its also not uncommon for people to buy their licenses without taking any kind of test. my brother in law did that… he bought a car with manual transmission and didn’t even know how to work it. when i went to visit for spring festival it was scary as hell, we stalled everywhere and anywhere

          • An anonymous boy…

            Actually the law did affect things: in 2008 China had 70,000 deadly traffic accidents vs 2003 with 100,000.

            China is a developing nation compared to other countries: you have to give it time. It is improving for people there each year.

            And I’ve known many Chinese, and they walk just fine. You have people who don’t watch where they walk everywhere. I can only assume you are probably just racist.

          • Little Wolf

            Ok…anti-racist twats, get your rotten fruit and vegetables and flame-throwers ready.

            Studies have suggested that physical and lifestyle differences result in poor development of periphral vision. (There, I said it…call me a fucking racist pig.)

            Why does it always take these people 10 minutes to park a car and need a “dao dao man” to guide them through a foot and a half on each side? I once went 4 years without driving a car and went to US and could still parallel-park in 1 swoop. And I have lots of Chinese friends in the that still drive like shit even after years of driving among more skilled drivers. They’ve learned to be more law-abiding but still drive like Mr. Magoo.

          • anon

            I’d say “Mainly because none of you bastards have a clue how to drive a car, inconsiderate, blinkered, ignorant twats, you don’t deserve push bikes let alone cars.” is a fairly trollish comment.

            It’s not that you guys aren’t saying certain (just certain) things that are observably true, it’s that you guys are being dicks about it.

            Let’s start with Little Wolf’s “studies have suggest…”. Studies may have SUGGESTED such a thing but you have no link between that and the drivers you’re thinking of. You’re presuming a causal link there premised upon gross stereotypes. It’s a fallacy you’re all too willing to believe and assert as fact because it reinforces what you want to believe emotionally.

            There are plenty of good drivers in China who can operate a motor vehicle just fine, as well as parallel park without a second person guiding them. Just like there are plenty of drivers elsewhere who drive poorly and can’t parallel park for their lives. At least the Chinese can say cars haven’t been mainstream and ubiquitous in their society for decades. What’s the excuse for an American? Likewise, I have plenty of American friends who have been driving all their lives and still scare the shit out of me. Some of them have driving records so bad I can’t believe they still have licenses, while others have just been consistently lucky enough not to run into traffic police.

            Widespread lack of law enforcement and the ability in certain places to buy or bribe your way to a license is indeed maddening and worthy of criticism. But what An anonymous boy is saying is also true and a legitimate explanation of what you see. Everywhere in history, “lawlessness” precedes lawfulness, especially in larger systems with more actors. It’s not a fair comparison to compare a young driving nation to an old one. It’s fair to want improvements, but it isn’t as if you don’t inherently know that these things take time and progress is always uneven.

            Notorious, what you have in America has their equivalents in China. It’s just that enforcement isn’t as high and you have places and people who are willing to grease or be greased and societal awareness of it is much more open and higher than in America. Replace the old Chinese woman with an old American woman and ask yourself what possible explanations would you be thinking of then. A lot of older people find it harder to learn new skills compared to younger people. Where and how she grew up, like Little Wolf says, MAY affect that but that’s mostly speculation than provable fact.

          • Little Wolf

            Jeez, anon….I was just starting to have some respect for you but there you go again with your pompous, condescending shit that you’ve got the answer for everything. I’m not your fucking secretary…do the research yourself. I’ve done mine.

            Not every comment that doesn’t fit between your ears qualifies as trolling.

            It is virtually impossible for you to not come to this site and shit in the sand box but I can be sure you’ll find a way to spin that as a good thing.

          • anon

            Oh no, I’ve lost your budding respect. Whatever shall I do?

            I didn’t say it qualifies as trolling, but I can understand An anonymous boy’s reaction because I do think it can be characterized as trollish. And I do think that was cc unnecessarily being a dick about the matter. I’m sorry you disagree.

            We all shit in the sandbox in our own way. Let’s not pretend you don’t go around vocally disagreeing with other people here. Stop trying to hurt my feelings when my comments make you uncomfortable and you can’t find a way to rebut them. Grow up, you can do better.

          • cc

            @anon
            Go forth and mutiply

          • Little Wolf

            I can rebut your comments quite easily as you’ve become quite predictable and formulaic. I am just not interested in prolonging any debates with you as you can be insufferable at times. Why do you feel the need to point out obvious things that anybody with half a brain has already thought about before they take their stance on the issue? Is this a service you’re providing us because you’re such a swell guy? Or are you convinced you’re so much more evolved than the rest of us racist neanderthals? I’m trying really hard not to dislike you and expect you to also grow up and be better.

          • anon

            Calling me predictable and formulaic isn’t a rebuttal. I aim to be predictable, even formulaic. It’s called being consistent in my beliefs and behavior.

            I’ve made my peace with being insufferable to some as others are insufferable to me. Why haven’t you?

            I feel the need to point out what I think is obvious but feel others haven’t demonstrated as being obvious to them. Get it? Same thing you do when disagreeing with others.

            I do this because I’m a human who cares to read what other people are saying, tries to understand what they’re thinking, and gives voice to my perspective. Same as everyone else. If you have an issue with the content of what I’m saying, by all means, attack me for it, but merely insinuating that I’m arrogant isn’t much of a rebuttal. Point out what’s wrong with what I’m saying, not just how you feel about me saying anything.

          • Little Wolf

            Well anon…. You say tomato. I say boor.

          • Little Wolf

            Southernorther….Ok, I can agree we’re probably more alike than different and agree I shouldn’t be so hostile at times. So anyway with the weather warming up we’ll be doing alot of day trips in the near future and I’ll invite you to go along.(I might even be able to rustle up a motorcycle for you) We also like to switch motorcycles and passengers so you’ll at least get to drive for awhile. I don’t do well in bars since I don’t drink, but I’m a gambling and womanizing motherfucker so I’m a little fun at least. I’ll be in touch.

        • An anonymous boy…

          @Little Wolf:

          Sorry, I never specifically asked any Chinese people I know about it, but that is how they drive as far as I’ve seen. I don’t know why else you would do that?

          Also I’ve seen it on multiple sites for how-to drive China:
          http://wikitravel.org/en/Driving_in_China#Right_of_way

          • Little Wolf

            Sorry A-boy, but wiki-anything is always going to be pc and anybody that drives in China will tell you that “right-of-way”(if that’s what you want to call it) is determined by the size or price of the vehicle combined with the audacity of the driver…..period.

          • PeterScriabin

            My abiding picture of Chinese driving is…somone driving a 电动车 out of a side turning, merging into the main-street traffic…while looking down at a cell-phone, and never once looking to see if there is oncoming traffic.

          • mankouzanghua

            PS, If they look, you know they know you/re there. If they don’t, you must accommodate them, right? Not disputing your observation, but that’s my take on it. The cell phone aspect is definitely shitty judgment on the part of an individual, though.

          • PeterScriabin

            Full-mouth: yes, well-said. As long as there is time, I must and do accommodate them. I drive in fear of the day there won’t be time. Hope their peripheral vision and reaction times are better than the stereotype says they are.

            More off-topic traffic material: I have always found it difficult to accept that all drivers steadfastly ignore pedestrians on 斑马线, and just roll on by. Today I had a row with someone and asked why Chinese local governments waste public money painting black and white stripes on roads. She told me that traffic law provides no right of way for pedestrians at zebra-crossings, that there is only permission for them to cross there.

            That is, aside from designated locations (such as traffic-light intersections, etc.), it is against the law for pedestrians to cross all but minor thoroughfares.

            I was stunned into silence, which has only happened maybe twice in the last 61 years.

            Funnily enough, I now feel calmer at 斑马线, “knowing” that I have no right whatever, but to wait until traffic abates, and I can run across the road, like a rat scurrying back to its hole from those little red plastic garbage bags left around the trees by the edge of the road, like Xmas presents around an Xmas tree.

            But is it really true what she said? I plan to ask the next cop I meet, though I wonder whether they would even know the law (as I’m sure you know, cop cars also drive by 斑马线, studiously avoiding looking at the pedestrian).

          • Little Wolf

            Peter: In Hangzhou, the policy since last year is the buses MUST stop and let pedestrians cross at every zebra crossing in an effort to encourage other drivers to follow the law.(which is written in the China Traffic Law handbook and though I should know the page and paragraph number by heart, I can’t think of it at the moment but, I assure, it’s there)

            Of course, it’s a long way to go before all the other cars will follow their example. Some do, but usually as soon as the pedestrians get past the bus they have to scramble for their lives to get to the traffic median. I often wonder if this policy just causes a more dangerous situation.

        • cc

          The only troll around here is you, tosser.

          • Little Wolf

            A-boy: That link is useless toilet paper. I worked several years for a traffic consultant company here in China and my boss(American) was an advisor for these very regulations you speak of(also sells traffic cameras,etc) that were intended to improve the traffic situation here. Please don’t think I am bullying you when I say there is no fucking way you’re going to win this argument.

          • cc

            You missed the sarcasm, “what safety laws”

            cc was def being a prick..anon has got something, u cant just rule out culture.

            oh and, inferior peripheral vision? yeah..im sure wed see way more things theyd suck at if that was the case.

            little wolf , ure just defending a friend i guess.

            just to prove it:
            Your right all countries have there share of car traffic accidents, the trouble is that China has more than more than most. Mainly because none of you bastards have a clue how to drive a car, inconsiderate, blinkered, ignorant twats, you don’t deserve push bikes let alone cars.

            by the way there is a difference between your and you’re..

            then you go and say:
            a-boy: CC is no troll and you can’t just accuse him of being one because you don’t like his argument. Also, you can’t make an argument about Chinese right of way as it simply does not exist.

            whats his argument again? read it again..if your half as smart as you are pretending to be, then you can clearly see..if you didnt know the guy, yeah, he was being a dick about it…point and simple.

            i drive in china, as i have driven in many countries.

            If i thought to myself where is the worst drivers in the world, well sorry let me rephrase that, i wouldnt call them bad drivers, their driving customs “differ”, i actually would put china maybe 8th on my list. china actually isnt that bad.

            Go drive in egypt, greece, colombia, india, jamaica, honduras, south africa, paris even. let me tell you , their driving methods all differ, and you can see the countries cultures being acted out on the road, its almost so obvious im surprised u guys are that daft as to not give it any merit whatsoever.

            i see you guys here chatting all day, your views are stuck in china. you hate the chinese for whatever reasons, which is totally understandable, u live here, i have my bad days..but u know..wtf? get over it.

            ive been driving here for years, planning on getting on getting a license this month…i also employ drivers… 3 of them.. all of them i interviewed myself, all of them can parallel park in one swoop. i pay them over 3gees a month. I trust my childrens lives with any one of them. now i have gone through a shit ton of drivers, but i think it had more to do with stealing money than ability to drive.

            there are probably a hundred reasons why you see so many accidents and such..oh and i just remembered, indonesia and vietnam, also ..”great” drivers… america has had cars for years, we have a car culture, i was driving at 12, stealing my moms car in the night to go race at 15, it was the norm where i was from.

            thats funny that average is 30 something, it means they work until they are old enough to afford a car, theyre all relatively new drivers , 3 years 4 years , taxi drivers maybe ten years, i mean ten years?!? by the time i was 23 i had ten years of driving experience..are you starting to see some other reasons rather than poor vision?

            im pretty tired of drawing a map here so all i can say is: diu ley!

            @ southernorthener
            What has culture got to do with driving?
            You’ve been driving here for years?? And don’t even have a driving licence. Driven in many countries? you need to keep your eyes on the road son instead of studying the culture, its pricks like you that cause the accidents.
            And if i wanted an English lesson from a septic i would ask. Now go and fuck yourself

          • Little Wolf

            southernorther…. Nobody asked you for your fucking condescending little map and you’re not the only person here that has driven all over the world. Yeah…like I really never expected some uppity dumbfuck to take issue with my vision hypothesis. (Actually it’s not mine) In case you haven’t noticed Chinese suck at alot of things.(Sports that help develop peripheral vision for 1) And if you can read you will note that I worked for a USA traffic consultant company hired by the China government to study this stuff. I didn’t just pull peripheral vision out of my ass. And where did I say it’s the only reason?

          • southernortherner

            wow..u guys are great, actually, u sound like my kind of guys..seriously. can we try to be friends?

            if youre ever in the guangzhou, or jiaxing, right next to you by the way little wolf, gimmee a holler..we can go get tanked and talk about chinese people.

            i really think you guys would be great in a pub setting. I mean surely you have friends with differentiating opinions, ney?

            i mean, im getting into arguments with friends about this and that all the time..its just sometimes fun to debate.

            and i wasnt being sarcastic about having a ball with cops,ok i was, but i was also thinking to myself how dope it would be to ride around with cops on motorcycles around zhejiang, lovely province by the way. the reason i dont have a license is ironically because of my relationship with cops, they have got to be the nuttiest bunch..they can do anything its hilarious. normal people with abnormal rules. unless your running around with clean cops in which case..yeah sounds boring..

            look lets all stop being asses to each other for one second and agree to disagree..however.

            my point is simple.. there are many horrible countries for driving , the fact that we all currently reside in china make it easier to make fun of. The fact that cc had no argument, rather he just shat on the chinese, saying they deserved push bikes ( u have no idea how hard i laughed at that by the way, it was pretty funny, i even sent that to a friend of mine from darlington uk, that always referes to bicycles as push bikes, he laughed as well, hes another long termer with kids and wife and car and all that.) and then when anon just gently pressed in the opposite direction you both crucified him.. its all there in writing..

            but im actually a pretty horrible person..and i do much worst things in everyday life than just grill a guy for not agreeing with me, and in that sense, at least you have the stick up for your friend mechanism even if hes wrong and thats u know ..honorable.

            have fun guys.

    There was a study done by the university of California, Berkley and the university of Toronto in regards to what happens to people when they become rich. According to the scientific study. Rich people are more likely to steal, lie, cheat, take candy from children, and break laws. In this world nothing is more powerful than money. Since “power corrupts”, it should come as little surprise that wealthy people are the biggest bastards in the world. I can only imagine what uber rich people are like. Must be scary how fucked in the head they are.

  • trent turner

    a few articles back it was all about how bad the foreigner is in China,(british asshole molesting chinese girl) lets not forget that all countries have bad people, and assholes, so when you distinguish that all foreigners are bad just remember its not true, cause if this is all true then assholes like this above must carry the same title, which would mean all Chinese are bad. I truely do not believe this but you shouldnt either, there are good and bad people of all races.

    As for the dickhead that says ok for a japanese to go as well, you are truely a fucking asshole and should be shot.

  • Bunny99

    Not a good Week for the image of Ferrari drivers – if this continues people might stop thinking that driving a Ferrari makes one a cultured, civilized, caring, heroic, and all-round great guy!

    “A Ferrari dealer in China arranged for a $958,000 special edition Ferrari 458 to do burnouts atop the historic 600-year-old stone gate in Nanjing on live television, leaving rubber marks on ancient stones that workers haven’t been able to remove. If Ferrari wanted Chinese residents to think of its drivers as overweening jerks, mission accomplished.”

    I assume this dealer knows his customers mind-set ???

  • James E

    This is appalling. I really can’t believe that most people STILL refuse to follow laws. I almost died the other day in China from a similar occurrence, Chinese people with money for some reason think they have the right to not abide by the laws of the people on the simple pretense they have more money. I am Australian and I lived in Australia for 21 years before moving to China, in this time I have never seen an accident, whether be small or large. I have now been in China 3 years, I have seen more than I can count, I have even seen some people die from car accidents, something I never wanted to see, all of this because some rich man in a B.M.W, Mercedes Benz or Porsche refuses to slow down or follow any sort of order on the road. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHINA, LEARN HOW TO DRIVE!

    Obviously my view is reasonably bias and to all the Chinese people that drive well, that god for you, without you the whole country would be plummeted into a bloody mess of metal a car tires covering every road and street corner.

    • Little Wolf

      I feel your pain James E. I have only been in a few fender-benders in my whole life and, hand of God, I have been in 3 crashes in a single day. TWICE! (going for 4) No injuries, except to my patience but I wonder how long my luck is going to hold out. Add to that, I drive a motorcycle and my future looks grim.

      • James E

        My girlfriend has a car, and when driving with her, I try to teach her to look in her rear-view mirrors and check her blind spots and so on, and the one time I didn’t, I was on the phone, she reversed straight into a parked car. Is there a test in China to get your license? Some lessons? Or is it a half-arsed Chinese instructor that doesn’t gives only enough shits at the end of the month when his paycheck arrives? Either or, it’s fucking dangerous.

        • James E

          Take out the above “doesn’t”.

        • Little Wolf

          I have a group of friends, mostly cops, and we like to ride superbikes in the countryside around Hangzhou. They constantly mock the way the way I turn my head to check my blind spots and get big laughs impersonating me. I’m going to get a huge laugh when one of them gets splattered and torso’ed after turning into a speeding Ferrari one of these days. (actually, I probably won’t laugh but the thought has crossed my mind)

          • James E

            it’s inevitable.

          • Little Wolf

            I wish that we could count on that…these guys are just begging to get creamed. More likely some innocent Japanese girl will get killed…or even more ironic….I’ll be killed in spite of of being the driver with any common sense. Life is funny that way.

          • James E

            That’s why I refuse to drive in this country. I know that I will die because of following the rules, something people won’t expect.
            The safest way to drive in China seems to also be the most dangerous.

          • southernortherner

            thats another topic though….i would say that americans are horrible motorcycle drivers compared to chinese, because ….

            a lack of experience.. but then again, where is another question, where u drive your moto..

            hangzhou ey? hanging out with cops? sounds like a ball.

          • Little Wolf

            ….i would say that americans are horrible motorcycle drivers compared to chinese, because ….

            a lack of experience.

            I’m going to pretend that was a typo because nobody could be that fucking stupid as to state the USA has the car culture but no motorcycle culture. Unless you’re just intentionally being an ass to get a rise out of me.

            USA IS MOTORCYCLE CULTURE

            And yeah…..my cop friends are a hoot. They’re all motorcycle cops and since no motorcycles can be driven in Hangzhou city limits and anything over 400cc is forbidden anywhere we drive in the countryside all around Zhejiang. I hope that’s ok with you. But hey, you seem like a party so why not come along sometime? (Ok, not really. But it’s nice to be polite)

          • anon

            I think southernortherner might be referring to more Chinese people riding motorcycles than Americans and have more experience riding in crowded conditions. It’s a generalization, just like Europeans being “better” riders because of their trend for nimble cafe racers versus Americans and their large open-road cruisers. My observations have been that motorcyclists are a small minority in the States, and tend to fall into either sport bikers or Harleys. Of course, they might just be more noticeable (both are loud and flashy) than those who ride standards. In China, there’s just so many more people riding bikes, mopeds, and motorcycles that I do think the average Chinese person probably is a better rider of two wheels than the average American who is usually a cager.

          • Little Wolf

            anon: As a lifetime motorcycle enthusiast that was pretty much raised on the back of a motorcycle, (among my father’s other skills, he was a pro motocross and steeplechase racer) you’re just going to have to take my word the Chinese that ride around on all these 125cc “farmer motorcycles”(that’s what my cop friends call them) are seriously lacking in the even basic skills and wouldn’t have a clue of what to do with a motorbike with any real muscle, like a Buell Thunderbolt or CBR 600. I don’t know where you’re from but I grew up in California where the weather is quite motorcycle friendly and while still in the minority the number of riders is quite high. To compare some lady cruising through downtown Hangzhou on an e-bike as having the experience of guys that ride real motorcycles is completely asinine.

          • southernortherner

            …i had three friends come from america..borrow my bike, one of them totaled one, 28 days in hospital for another one, and broken leg for my cousin..yet i lend my bike to my bar maid to go get tomatoes and shes back in one piece in a flash..and its not a small bike..

            i think it just boils down to the number of people riding motorcycles here in such crowded situations compared to the number of people that ride bikes in america, mathematically you will find more 18 year olds here who can shift gears and ride for a few hours of a farm bike than if you picked out ten 18 year olds in america, its just math, thats all im saying!

            for sure the ones who do drive bikes in america pop wheelies and dirt tracks and ducati harley mofos its obvious..im just talking big here , you know ? no ? whatever.

          • Little Wolf

            haha…it’s ok Northersouther….we’re good.

            But let me ask you this….Have you noticed the asphalt roads (at least in Zhejiang) are really slippery compared to the USA? I don’t know what they add to it but all it takes is the slightest moisture and the road becomes a Slip’n'Slide(by Wham-o!) Your buddy may not have been prepared for that. Just speculating.

          • steve in china

            after 30,000 km driveing in china you are correct you just keep on doing what you are doing wolf and you should live a bit longer ho by the way over 1,500.000 miles drivering in the uk with 40 years behind me and not just a few years like most chinese drivers

        • anon

          Yes, there’s a test and lessons. There’s also half-arsed Chinese instructors who only gives enough of a shit to get his paycheck at the end of the month. There’s also ways to grease your way through all of this, and people willing to be greased. You’re better off asking your girlfriend for what her experience was.

          Thing is, if she wasn’t Chinese, we’d just be saying she drives like a girl. Interesting how racism trumps sexism here.

          • anon

            BTW, to clarify, I’m not saying you’re intentionally being racist here, I’m just saying I think its interesting that we look for cultural (tests/lessons in China) reasons instead of gender reasons that are often used in other situations (“the woman driver”) as explanations for poor driving.

          • James E

            You’re right, but a female Chinese driver, the most dangerous creature on the planet.

          • anon

            Haha, yes, that’s the stereotype.

          • James E

            Also, I am intentionally being racist, because in Australia, some women are bad drivers, here 99% of people are bad drivers.

          • Suicidal tendency

            You see racism where I see country-wide cultural issue.

            In China, it is very very easy to buy your driving license without having ever touched a wheel.

            Go ask car reseller. I found one who explained me the worst “son of” walk in, get in their brand new car, and manage to crash it before getting out of the car park!

            Stay a bit long around and you’ll figure out that the driving teachers have better clue about safety. (One colleague told me she was taught by her teacher to honk instead of slowing down at cross-section “when there’s not much traffic”)

            Believe me, there’s a huge gap between what I would call a bad driver and the average Chinese driver skills!

            And it’s not because they’re stupid. It’s really because driving is not something taken seriously, from regulation to training and including teachers training and certification.

          • anon

            Thank you for the clarification, James. I know exactly what you’re referring to but I’d nitpick that I don’t think 99% of the people in China are necessary bad “drivers”. I think they’re just “bad” relative to the driving rules and norms we have and expect in our home countries. Driving is a skill and I think quite a lot of Chinese people are actually quite adept at it given the circumstances. They’re not adept at observing the rules we have, either because their actual rules are different or because the actual “rules of the road” (adapting to conditions you can’t control) are different. But as for actual skill in handling a car, I don’t think 99%.

            Again, I’m nitpicking but its because I think what we see on the roads in China is more about people doing what others are doing rather than actual lack of “driving skill”. As Suicidal Tendency notes, it’s an issue with the conditions throughout the country. I hesitate to elevate it to culture except in a very vague sense of the word. Suffice to say, it’ll get better as people start demanding better, and they will, just as it has in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

          • James E

            I used skill in a vague way, I meant the way they drive, not necessarily how they do it. The rules are here, I have asked many students and Chinese people alike, but they all say the same, the rules are not followed. This is what is not safe, whether you think you’re above the law or think that you can drive safely without the use of the rules or regulations, both are deluded and irrational. Personally, I can just not understand why people implore themselves to do such dangerous acts that not only endanger themselves but everyone else on the road, whether it be children or elderly people. Just the other day I saw a young girl on rollerskates who didn’t know how to stop skate across the road and the taxi I was in didn’t slow down, just drove around her continuing at his 80km/ph speed, and was literally cm’s away from killing her. I really cannot understand.

          • anon

            A lot of it is the old “won’t happen to me” or “go with the flow” or “it’s no big deal, see, no one was hurt” mentality, just like why no one observes the speed limits on freeways where we’re from and even flip the bird to those who do because they’re holding everyone else up. It’s going to take a lot more tragedy before people start wising up and clamping down on certain rules. The Chinese are no different from others when it comes to learning things the hard way. People always creep.

        • cc

          There is a driving test but it doesn’t account for much. You also have to pass a highway code type test as well getting 90 questions right out of a random 100. Once they have passed that they get a licence and are free to kill everyone that gets in there way. All rules and regs are chucked immediately out of the window. And as for the police, well don’t even go there.

    In Guangzhou, I see these fuckers in their super cars all the time here. And at night, about 3-4am, I can hear them racing up and down the roads… I hope to one day here a big ass fatal crash. I will be the first to drive down there and take pictures for you all! lol

  • Deloren

    Haiz, I know many Chinese citizens are angry that Singaporeans reacted too harshly but this all came about after the video was released and the fact that the taxi driver being the sole bread winner for his family became a casualty.

    For those who havent seen the video please see it then judge. The speed the ferrari was travelling is simply ridiculous especially in the city area of tiny Singapore even though it was late at night. Look at the passengers reactions. It was SO FAST that it took them a while to register the fact that a car had sped in front of them and crashed to the taxi just a few feet ahead of them.

  • Wombadan

    Singapore people don’t drive like that, in fact driving in Singapore is very polite and safe. Guys like this are a menace. China’s society is getting disturbing with too much money and too much arrogance to know how to handle it properly. It seems this guy could not control himself with a pregnant wife, a 4 year old daughter and a strange young woman in the passenger seat at 4am after telling his wife “He wanted to go for a drive”. No – wanted to see his Mistress and impress her. In doing so he killed himself and two other people, and left his wife, daughter and an unborn child without a Father. Utterly irresponsible and a warning about how Chinese people when they “stand up” can be unbelievably bad.

    But where does the ancestors? The essence of Singaporeans is very different from Chinese, is educated, friendly people.
    I lived in Beijing, 2.5. months, and I saw what was going on. There are no traffic rules, they almost do not comply, do not yield to pedestrians road and no one thinks about what it might turn out – they do not value life.
    The news says that they have taken on the identification of four year old child! If it’s true – you think it is normal for her psyche? Singaporeans have gone forward, and the ancestors and remained at the level of a caveman. What can be more to say?

  • Non-Chinese

    What ever the case, this poor guy paid his dues with his life, it does not mean all Chinese people are crooks and he should not be judged or branded as a bastard or crook. Just because he is wealthy that does not make him a crook. He probably worked his butt off to give his family a better life and he may have come from a very poor family. All of us regardless of race and nationality wants to get out of our country for a better life. What about the poor people that he may have helped in mainland China and in Singapore or across the globe. Something to ponder. As for the the infedelity he was probably calling off the affair and had an argument with the other woman in the car which was probably the cause of this horrible accident. Look at the other victims that suffered they are all GOD’s selected few. WHY is it that the only person who survived in the crash is the young lady in the car. The good always die young. This is just my opinion and what I think of it all. I am not related to any of the victims in this ordeal. I am a passer by. May GOD bless their souls. Everything happens for a reason.
