Same thing about not using the signaling lights when turning or switching lanes, or looking in the mirrors... There are also two different teachers and tests for reverse and normal driving.</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/03/14/countdown_trafi.php#comment-204953 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/03/14/countdown_trafi.php#comment-204953 Comments Tue, 14 Mar 2006 14:51:44 +0800 <p>I just took the "theory test."

Because the actual process to learn driving here is a much more surprising and mind opening experiance about the rules and regulations that govern our streets... I still accelerate every time I see someone trying to cross the street.</p>
