they dont care about traffic rules???

1, they block other cars behind them.

2, they race on normal roads.

@TheDavidgade lol. You don't see the traffic light or the traffic lanes or the cross traffic? Nobody was blocked and the "race" made it from 0 to 40 mph *maybe*, after the green light. Guess what, it's Korea, Tactical Vehicles drive on normal roads with everyone else.

@bouldog44470 I should point out that Nobody exceeded the speed limits, and there's no "Drag Racing" law in Korea. Highway Code in Korea isn't Highway Code in France. Kindly educate yourself before you pass judgment.

@CharlieDoan Me being one of those soldiers, I know Gas is not cheap, but deisel isnt either, I agree with the others (enjoy the little things) but have you been to Iraq or Afghanistan, probably not, but most importantly is a thing called morale if this boost there morale in any way let them have fun, we do what we have to do in order to clear our minds so quit your yappin and get over it and one more thing every soldier pays their taxes to

@kingslefthand none of those weigh anywhere close to 25 tons... u realize 25 tons is about 56,000 lbs not one humvee weights that much the humvees are about 10-15000 lbs which is only like 5-7.5 tons. they do weigh alot but not as much as 25 tons.

@101andrewj it'll still be fun beating the shit out of them

[kingslefthand]

When the thing you are driving weighs over 25 tons there are no traffic laws.

[invin76]

Yeah. but, but it is dangerous because some of Korean drivers are usually passing crossroad immediately after red signal turned on.

It is from quick temper of Korean or... sometimes mistake.

Take care :)

@TheDavidgade 1. No one was blocked... Heres why, It was protected left turns for going and oncoming traffic. The light wasn't green for straight traffic till they took off. Maybe you should look at how fast a mil spec hummer accelerates.. They probably made it to about ~40MPH. I'm sure that road had a higher speed on it then they got up to. Plus Korea has different traffic laws then the US, what we consider illegal here my not be there.
