Agreed with Thatguy86. If he had apologized and paid, that would have been that. That's what happens in every other traffic accident. His mouth cost him a lot more than RMB 1,800.
what he should've done is immediately pay her, apollogize and this wouldn't be an incident. Even if she used this as an opportunity to get some free check ups and compensation, it doesn't matter because he broke the rules and hit her.
This should be more common, foreigners should think the law doesn't apply to them.
Biker, thanks for the comment! BTW I seem to remember that you posted in the forum a while back about how to register a vehicle ... can you tell us more?
Because you sent you child there you know what's going on behind the scenes?
yeah, in fact i did.
That's because for three years I interacted quite literally every single school day with my child's teachers, over the course of 3 classrooms as she got older. Most of her teachers are still there, so there's a strong indication that the place is not a mess.
My daughter didn't feel "squashed" at all. She loved it as did her peers and most of the parents who had their children there.
In fact in a very relaxed environment she was better prepared in math, English and Chinese than many of her first grade peers.
Was it perfect? Far from it. I love to gripe just as much as the next concerned parent, and I'm not surprised to hear there's disgruntled teachers, just like there are in probably every school. Thing is that I didn't happen to run into any of them in 3 years, with the possible exception of one of the foreign teachers she had for part of one year who left abruptly (but was replaced by someone my daughter and her friends really loved).
Anyhow the the proof is in the pudding: my daughter loved it, learned a lot both academically and in terms of virtues in a free-form, low stress environment, and to my knowledge virtually every parent that had kids in my daughter's class felt pretty much the same way.
1. If you don't have a driver's license, stop driving and get one 2. If your vehicle is unregistered, stop driving and get one
Wiser words were never spoken.
Remember, this guy was just going about his morning business, riding his scooter, when all hell broke loose for him, and now his father. If he'd had a driving license & been on a legal scooter (and kept the curse words out of it), his insurance would have covered the measly 1,800 rmb. Almost certainly, nobody would've been any wiser about his improper visa.
I'm sure he thought "nah, it'll never happen to me." He probably also bragged "I've been riding for 6 years without being legal and nothing has happened." Perhaps, until now.
By the way, this situation is not uncommon, at all, re illegal motorcycles. It was just this particular case that gained lots of publicity, because it was initially portrayed as an attempt at a "scam."
Hee... Admin, great that all of your emploees got online to defend the great and all powerful Beijinger. Thanks for your input Steven and Paul.
The article isn't all that shocking and not really a worry since I am legal and my paperwork is in order. This type of hype about visas happens once a year, everyone gets their panties in a knot and then it all goes away till the next congress or whatever.
Also, the restaurants name is still tagged in your article.
Geez, you're painting with a pretty broad brush there.
Having sent my child to the Family Learning House for 3 years and knowing several families still there, I can tell you that there's very little shenanigans going on there as you suggest
Because you sent you child there you know what's going on behind the scenes?
I know 4 people who currently work/have worked there both Chinese and foreigners. The place is a mess internally. No English syllabus or curriculum and zero qualified foreign teachers. It's very pretty and they have some real Montessori teachers but they do not qualify for Montessori certification because they have half-assed the program by trying to squash English language, Chinese language, Virtues programs and other subjects in there.

I dunno -- Paul's British so perhaps he's calling him an obscure type of sausage

Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
Private dick. Ha! I get it. He is calling that guy a dick. The temerity!
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
This all boils down to him swearing.
what he should've done is immediately pay her, apollogize and this wouldn't be an incident. Even if she used this as an opportunity to get some free check ups and compensation, it doesn't matter because he broke the rules and hit her.

Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
How about the US have a crackdown on foreigners?
Well, I guess we won't, because we have become pussies, and give them free stuff and take the taxpayers money.
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
Is that the real picture of the incident? Looks like a total set-up, but who knows.

Good spot. Maybe your not cut out to run a magazine, but you might get in the CIA. Or you could be a private dick
Re: 2014 China Public Holiday Schedule Released: Get Ready to...
That's actually a pretty good comment, admin.
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
It's great that JW80 and others who have commented took this article so seriously that only typos were noticed and not the thrust of the piece.
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
You can edit my comments... but you still have the name of the restaurant tagged in the post.
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
It was in this sentence:

Fixed now.
Now can we stop picking on typos and get to the heart of this story -- which is this guy's dad was deported as well as a result of the kid's behavior
first i've heard of that happening
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
Your fault that there is not edit button on the user side.
Yes, I made a typo. Thank god I don't run a magazine, eh?
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
He fixed it. Clearly.
Re: Foreigner on Motorbike Who Hit Lady to be Deported
