Despite this, the roads are an overcrowded nightmare (Hong Kong specifically, haven't driven in Macau) where no one really follows the existing rules terribly well. I have no doubt what so ever such a move would result in chaos and fatalities.

>So I don’t think you’d get much pushback from actual drivers.

At this rate, they might as well force all the people in HK to Speak Mandarin, Write in Simplified Chinese. Or get rid of them all together if they don't comply. Oh there is a word for it, Genocide.

Private car drivers don't have votes anyway so even if there's pushback the governments don't care.

The taxis, logistics and trucking industries do have political clout, though, and they will be the ones pushing back.

Are you really sure???!!! HK has like one of world's most ridiculous car culture...
