Behind the Wheel Bickering

FSF mentioned in three different interviews (Super Access, YuLe, Tudou) that YM could not stand his slow driving. Compared to FSF, YM is definitely less patient and more rash. He recalled a driving experience with YM sitting in his car and they were waiting to make a left turn at a busy intersection with a lot of pedestrian traffic. Even when all the pedestrians finished crossing the street, FSF still hesitated to make the left turn and the cars behind them were honking loudly. YM couldn't take it anymore and complained "Feng Ge ("Older Brother Feng"), can you drive any SLOWER?" FSF replied, "Why don't I get out and let you drive?" YM then shut up and didn't complain anymore. ROFL. FSF then explained that he was in two severe accidents that almost took his life. After going through near death experiences, FSF felt there were so many in life more important than speeding to get to your destination. Now he values his opportunity to live more than anything.

Okay, I have to admit the following photos don't have anything to do with the incident I just wrote about. But it does relate to the driving/car theme. :D LOL. I found FSF to be such a gentleman. He opened the passenger car door for YM before hoping in the driver's seat.

The first car accident occurred in December of 2007. FSF overworked, fell asleep behind the wheel and wasn't even conscious during the collision. The second accident happened while he was riding his motorcycle and a truck hit him. He only escaped death because he was pushed under beneath the truck while his vehicle got crushed. After this second incident, his parents forbade FSF to drive a motorcycle despite his great love for car racing/motorcycling and became the meticulously slow driver that YM know today.
