One sad thing about car scene in China is that car customization will never be fully legalized. And the reason for that is to deter overweight trucks. Even now you can see this kind of 4-axle trucks, probably having 2000hp, plated 55 tons but actually carrying 200 tons of rubble or cement or soil, full beam, doing 100mph on the national highways. When they set off they literally tear a hole on the tarmac. They don’t use motorways because there are toll booths with weight bridges, but they do run in the cities after dark. And it doesn’t matter if they kill someone because they have expensive insurance. And if the victim were just injured they might go back and ram them dead because according to them, compensation for the dead is cheaper than that for the crippled.
And back then it was even worse. 18-wheel artic carrying 300 tons, farming tricycle towing a 2-axle 40-ton trailer, road trains, van carrying stolen petrol. It was completely bonkers what those loonies could do.
