Another bus drove off the road in China, throwing road safety concerns back into headlines. In Baoshan, Yunnan province yesterday at around 4:25 pm, a passenger bus carrying 29 people "plunged into a ravine," according to Xinhua. Judging by the picture, it's amazing that the casualty count didn't exceed 13.
A Lamborghini is worth more than a mega gazillion bucks. A Rolls-Royce is worth a bajillion trillion dinero. Crash one into another, and you have at least one insurance company with one ginormous honker of a headache.

You accepted your ticket, or got let off with a warning after conspicuously flashing your boy scout card, and that was that. On Monday, however, a woman in Dunhuang, Gansu... Read more »
There ought to be an implicit understanding between pedestrians and drivers, oughtn't there? Halfway respect the rules of the road, don't stand in the middle, and no one gets run over.
The jaywalker shown here, in Ningbo, Zhejiang province on Monday, doesn't care for any of it. Watch as he leisurely traverses the busy road, indifferent to the cars slowing down to avoid him.
