I took a look at the statistics on Wikipedia and they're pretty staggering... per-capita road accidents are roughly 1.5x the US, but per-vehicle is almost 10x.

From a US perspective it would be truly insane to drive one of these on a Chinese highway but you go there and see little three wheeled trucks hauling a dining table zipping alongside 18-wheelers. Truly a different standard.

Ya, the motor trike carrying a mountain of recycling is still a thing in some cities.
