King of the Road or Baby, You Can Drive My Car

Look out, China! After being here for 3 months, I am now free to drive my car about Beijing. It arrived well after we did, but it took 3 weeks once it got here to go through the registration process. Driving here is madness, but it is slow madness. While 90% of drivers follow no known traffic laws, at least they drive relatively slowly.

I like the traffic signs that have been translated, usually imperfectly, into english with a cartoon illustration. I will try to get some photos soon. My favorite translation is "Don't Drive Tiredly."
