So I'm down at the British Embassy pub chatting with some people, and a fellow I know relates a story a friend of his...
Buddy drives up to a red light and stops. (This is where the trouble begins...)
Happily waiting for the light to change, he doesn't notice a speeding bus behind him that fully plans on running the red light...
Luckily (or unluckily as the case may be), the passenger-packed bus slams on the brakes to avoid hitting him. However, in doing so, the many passengers all fly forward with the sudden stop, with many of them being injured to one degree or another.
Blissfully unaware of the happenings behind him, he proceeds to drive on when the light turns green...
Fast forward a couple weeks, and buddy gets a fine for KRW 2,000,000 (close to USD 2,000, and almost exactly AUD 2,000) for dangerous driving BECAUSE HE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHILE THE BUS FULLY PLANNED ON ILLEGALLY RUNNING THE RED LIGHT BUT STOPPED AND IN THE PROCESS, INJURED PEOPLE.
WTF? Huh? :S
Now... just think about THAT the next time you stop for a red light in Korea.
Anyone else got any true 'legal insanity' stories from their neighbourhood?
