But its one thing for the law to say that and another thing as to whether its enforced. Its illegal to tail gate too, but that happens all the time in HK. I'm not going to hold my breath to see any prosecution over splashing people.Original Post Deleted
Hk definitely needs more polite drivers like you, but I think the bit about reporting it to police and splashing pedestrains being illegal in the UK is what people ITT have a problem with.
In an ideal world, drivers would get prosecuted for this type of behavior, but when you see that issues like illegal parking and idling engines are rarely enforced, the chances of drivers being arrested for splashing pedestrians seems highly unlikely. Very unfortunate but it would seem difficult to prove. That being said, remember the license, report it to police if anyone gets splashed and leave it to the police.
The question of whether or UK law should apply in HK is a whole different topic entirely.
You mix 2 things up here. Police goes around and give illegal parking tickets most of the time, they rarely get calls to take action (I presume). When you have an issue you report, that's a different thing.
Generally about driving in HK, it's largely OK. Here and then there are drivers with no light, full headlight, rear fog lights. Recently I see drivers putting on the emergency indicators during rain on the highways. So light is certainly a weak spot in HK that many fail to understand. But other then that it's more or less fine.
