James Fallows watches a traffic accident unfold in pictures and captions:

“The taxi driver, partly visible, is the man she is looking daggers at, who is also looking at her. And a white van marked Gong An, ‘public security,’ has just rolled up.” …

“I don’t know enough about Chinese traffic-court jurisprudence to be able to say what will happen to whom later on. But this kind minor traffic mishap, with attendant crowd scene — and all parties leaving the vehicles where they are, in the middle of traffic, till the cops arrive — and then eventual inconclusive drifting-away is familiar enough to be worth one specimen example.”
