North Wildwood - I saw a Chinese fire drill for the first time Oct. 20 and I don't understand it. How does that country make their firemen do shenanigans while people's lives are at risk?

Moderator's Note: 
The Urban Dictionary definition of Chinese fire drill is the act of, upon reaching a stop light/sign, all the members of a vehicle bail out and dash laps around the car until the light changes or the other people around you get really annoyed. According to Wikipedia, Chinese fire drill is a slang term that dates back to the 1900's for a situation that is chaotic or confusing, possibly due to poor or misunderstood instructions.
