Suzhou Drivers: Wild Ride or Smooth Cruise? #SuzhouAdventures
-
Just got back today and had the exact same experience. I took a taxi from Suzhou Station to my guesthouse – it was a short ride. But the driver was speeding the whole time, complaining that he'd 'wasted' hours waiting. How is that my problem? If they can't handle short fares, they shouldn't be queuing up for them.
-
That's their job. If they're not happy with it, they can quit. I really don't understand why this is so common; it's not just a few isolated cases.
-
It's the overall environment. If Suzhou doesn't crack down on traffic violations, its reputation will only get worse.
-
They really need to sort this out. It's seriously damaging the city's image. [Crying emoji reference]
-
Question it, understand it, join them, become one of them.
-
Ride-hailing services are pretty much the same everywhere, aren't they? More than them driving fast, I hate it most when they're on their phones, eating, or smoking while driving at a snail's pace.
-
Yell back at them!
-
Otherwise, how else would they earn the nickname 'Suzhou Pilots'?
-
More than half the people in Suzhou are from out of town. And if you exclude the local elderly who don't drive, how many of the drivers on the road are actually Suzhou natives?
-
Oh right, it's all people from out of town. As if Hangzhou and Shanghai have no outsiders, huh?
-
When I hired a driving instructor in Suzhou to practice, they told me you don't need to use turn signals when changing lanes.
-
Definitely not me.
-
Why not just say that drivers generally have poor standards?
