  • Pothole In China Swallows Entire Lorry [PIC]

    Ja bru, that’s an actual lorry down there.

    Thanks to China, I am officially never complaining about the state of the roads in South Africa ever again. A lorry (pictured) has fallen down a massive fracture in the road which opened up as the truck drove over it. Scary. This comes just after four other lorry drivers in February were lucky enough to survive after a bridge collapsed as they drove over it.

    The irony is that this accident is just one of hundreds that take place in China each year, with the country being one of the most dangerous places in the world to drive due to the dodgy infrastructure.

    Let’s put it in perspective: there are around 100 000 deaths a year caused as a result of traffic accidents in China. This is twice the number of the United States, despite the fact the U.S. has four times as many cars.

    Here’s something else to think about: They say China is busy taking over the world because they can submit (and deliver) a tender for much cheaper than anyone else.

    Now we know why.
