Honestly, you need to drive in China. They’re mad !! No lights at night AND driving the wrong way against the traffic, 5 on a moped, lorries & cars carrying stuff which they definitely shouldn’t be, totally ignoring traffic lights (just a free-for-all) roadworks in the middle of 5 lanes of traffic with nothing but 6 plastic cones to ‘protect’ the head of the chap digging the hole while his mates on the side of the road look on etc etc etc.
But the Police and the rules allow madness.
In Shijiazhuang one day it was a bit foggy – not that bad at all. We left the hotel and started to drive for several miles down the motorway (sorry, Freeway) of 4 lanes and suddenly out of the fog came a lorry towards us (no lights !). Shortly after a car came, then another car, then 2 cars, then more cars !!!! Then we get further on, dodged more cars driving the wrong way and discover that the police had closed the road ahead. Not at any junction so people could get off but not on but just closed it on any random stretch. The police were telling people to turn around and drive back the way they came !!!!! Which we then had to do and it was scary as it was now busier and there was a lot more traffic coming !!!! Utter madness.
