Taxi: green light turn right... Becomes straight green light

Taking taxi in China can be quite interesting, its also a good opportunity to practice your bad Chinese, in the end you'll leave and never meet again so it doesn't really become uncomfortable.

Ask where he's from, how old, have wife (taitai), how many taitai... The last question is usually appreciated!

I'm any case, one trick late night with little traffic is that a red light ahead but green light right turn can easily be used to go straight albeit a bit bent. Turn slightly right, veer through the intersection turn right again, which now actually is straightening out veering back, thus two right bridged by a didn't turn right becomes an almost green straight.

Also , they was a police block with alco test which he u-turned in front of because it saves time... The police it would seem doesn't mind these things. And somebody really really drunk wouldn't see them thus will get caught.

It's all in one harmonious day.
