Oh yah, they drive like maniacs there. Following traffic regs is strictly optional for all vehicles and would be a deviation from the norm for motorcycles and scooters. Add in the high alcoholism and binge drinking rates and things get much worse at night. I believe they have the highest car crash fatality rate in the OECD and that should be no surprise to anyone who has witnessed the chaos firsthand.

@SlipperyWhenWet I agree, Russia is still 1st, but if Korea keeps this up they will be (you should pardon the expression) coming up fast from behind.

I currently live in South Korea (military) and yes, the driving here is absolutely terrible. The rules are merely a suggestion and if you're not a complete dickhead on the road (and driving as offensively as possible), you will get absolutely nowhere in this traffic. Turn signals are also the exception, not the rule.

Also, that guy in the last video is absolutely fucked - that was a cop car that he nailed.

To move the bus into the air and the other vehicles around the first was definitely a bomb/ underground gas explosion. That was more than the force of any tyre.

The second accident which involved 6 cars was in the USA not in Korea.

Have visited many countries from the most advanced to the most primative and South Korea had the scariest driving I've ever witnessed.

@senor boogie woogie In my experience, it's rare in South Korea to find a car over one year old that doesn't have at least a few dents and scrapes on it from minor accidents. They drive like they could care less about each others' lives.

@senor boogie woogie I've only been to Kowloon (the island near Honk Kong which is owned by China). No, I still thought S. Korea was worse.

@Cla68 Yeah, not so much incompetent driving (you get that in every country) but really agressive driving is why S.K. is bad.

Well, the second isn't from South Korea.
However, these videos are actually quite tame. People cannot drive properly here, or I suppose I should say they are not taught how to drive here.
Signals: optional and hardly used
Red lights: optional for cars/non-existent for scooters
Speed traps and light cameras: notified where each is by GPS
Blind spots: what's that?
Drinking and driving: let's just say there is at least one BIG wreck each weekend in the early morning hours out front of my apartme More..

I ran down one night with my phone and thought about taping the aftermath. Couldn't do it. People hysterical and shit. I'm a watcher, not a taper I suppose.

So many people should never ever be given a set of keys to a vehicle. I know accident's happen, but the majority of these are caused by not paying attention.

@cavern I'd add to that so many people should never have been given a lease of life.
