    ^ lol then wouldnt that be the highway code in HK, although they may be similar...

    found this on amazon, it says its a theory test in chinese, which should include highway code http://www.amazon.co.uk/Theory-Test-Drivers-R-K-Kanda/dp/1901453014

    but there really nothing i could find... best to just learn english, the highway code isnt too hard, the books come with enough pictures and the signs are simple english

    ^ o yeah didnt think of it that way but im sure some hk bookshops would sell it or order it if it was requested :p i danno ;) anyways the UK highway code it pretty much self explanatory the signs are pretty obvious and the driving rules and mph im sure are also in driving 'how to' books as well

    There's not that much to learn in the highway code anyways and like soneone else mentioned they are pretty much self explantory (i personally didnt need to learn much when I did my driving test either, and my test went fine) - the main thing is knowing how to do the manoeuvres

    ^ Yeah, the traffic lights are useless, they're just there as some kind of public art objects and hence to be ignored by the drivers in China. Even the police patrol cars don't give a damn about the traffic lights and crossing roads for the pedestrians.

    where i live (in the UK) the majority of road users are quite courteous, even taxi drivers!

    think thats changing now, cause they getting tough on people who drive dangerously

    when i went a few years back, people just drove thro red lights as long as it was clear, but when i went back winter, they actually stopped, even with no traffic
