An observation: When stepping into a cab in Gwangju, remember you are literally taking your life in your hands. Red lights, pedestrians laws, speed limits, signs and signals hold no sway over the experienced taxi drivers. I'm not even sure if there IS a speed limit, but I'm quite sure that they are exceeding it. Every ride is like a starring role in another Transporter movie. Red lights mean only that you slow down a bit and honk your horn a couple times while running it.
Maybe it's cause I'm not from a big city... or maybe Korean cab drivers are actually insane. I dunno.
And the delivery drivers on their motorbikes are even worse. They follow no laws at all! I wonder if there's a statistic on delivery driver deaths. I'm surprised the streets aren't littered with them dying by the side of the road like inner city roadkill.
