Everyone double parks (myself included on some occasion). But are there on average like 2 on every block in South Boston? And when they do double park do they just hit their breaks without warning or turn signal and stop right there?

I regularly pass out during my evening commute, does that make me a bad driver?

Model minority here. I hate whites in their lifted pickup trucks. They are so clean pavement queens

What I been witnessing. Recently immigrated Asians are absolutely horrible drivers. Not so much the American born ones. The older gentlemen I have ridden in the vehicle with are oblivious to everything around them. They drive at their leisure on the left lane. Whenever they need to point out a point of interest to their passengers, or look for a particular bldg they don't care if they slowed down to a snail's pace while other cars are right behind them. I don't know what it is, but for some reason they cannot turn their head to check blind spots when moving over to the next lane. They hit the blinker, squint at the side mirror, and slowly move over hoping other vehicles get the point.

BTW, I'm Asian too but know how to drive. It makes me sad that many fit the stereotype.

that may be true but i see more of black people that drive at their leisure and dont care about others. they in front of you in the middle of the street, they see their friends and they straight up stop and take time chit chat while others cars in the back. you dont dare to horn..... they black and you afraid of black. bu if your little asian lady does that, gets a horn right away.

i was at shopping center in a drive thru that happends to have long line of cars blocking the intersaction of car coming in from else where. the car in front of me was a white man block exactly to the stop sign of the car coming in.... then sudden a car from other direction comes in and i quickly back up a bit to make room for the white man to back up to let the car pass through the intersaction. the white man wave his hand saying thanks to me. the car that pass through also wave to the white man.

.......ok now lines are moving...... now my turn to bock the intersaction...... sudden black women come in from the intersaction...... and just stop there.... having look down (must be phone) i tried to wave at her to know if she wants to pass as she stays there facing down for a while.... then finally talking on her phone on her ear. i tried to wave at her o know if she wants to pass through but she didnt even paying attention..... all busy talking on the phone. then i just move foward back. 2min later she honk me and raise voice..... "excuse me can you move"

i think everyone making asian cant drive joke is because people afraid of other race. seriously who afraids of little asians?

mexican drive crazy and dangerous. they dont signal and stepping all over the lines. i was very close to a exiting intersaction from a shopping center and sudden a mexican driver rush in front of me and get to the stop sign first. crazy!

i was backing up from a parking lot... half way out then beep! from a black lady in her 40s on the back. i am sure i start moving out first... i look back very well and see no car coming out. move my car half way and gets a beep.... i just move in back and let her go first. dont want any trouble.

Asians are horrible drivers. In fact, they suck at anything involving spatial awareness.
I was just in China Town in Oakland. They can't even walk on a sidewalk without getting in your way.

Yea I kind of have this problem too.

I mean for Asians it might be better for them to get into sports that involved full body coordination like basketball.

It would help their driving coordination a lot!

Can't say for everywhere, but in San Francisco......they can't drive! :rolleyes:

Now, racist might be saying, "How do you blind an Asian??"

"Put a windshield in front of them!!" :sneaky: ():)

Imagine if they made a show like Canada's Worst driver, but in China. I think that would be entertaining. If you can go through the course and hit less than 100 things, you pass.

NY reporting in
I can confirm that those born in China cannot drive.
I can also confirm that those born in Korea when placed in the driver seat of a church van will help you get out of car payments if your vehicle has full coverage.

Since India is also part of Asia I will also toss in that Indian women and Indian men older then the age of 50 should be banned from operating vehicles on local roads.
On Highways they are a joy since they obey all laws.

As a bonus feature only available in the box set...I will toss in factual information on black drivers for the low low price of $19.95

As for the biggest group of drivers...white people. holy entitlement complex batman...don't get me started.

As for Americans of Asian descent born and raised here. I find their driving skills to be on par with everyone else.

This post officially waives my right to seek public office in any capacity.

Here's all that needs to be said to verify this thread

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds2AqkWdpRY

it's famed Chinese chef Eddie Huang riding shotgun in a new Lexus, when asked if he would drive one if he still had a license he says "Yes, if I didn't have to worry about liability insurance because I really really get in accidents all the time. Like we're probably going to get in an accident because I'm here"

How come Asians are so bad at driving? Is it there lack of coordination?

There has to be some sort of logical explanation on why they are so bad at driving based on what you guys here have said.

and small penises.

Amazing what one can say here when it comes to Asians.
As a contrast, I once said a "certain other race" have big noses and lips on here and I got banned...

The ultra protected race vs the race everyone can take a huge shit on without anyone caring lol.

Jealousy. Asians are well educated and they have the highest income. That's why it's ok to cut down Asians, rich people, smart people, etc. This is also why a lot of banner ads say stupid shit like "idaho mom outsmarts scientists." It's always ok to attack the upper class for some reason.

As for why Asians are terrible at driving, it's probably because their parents are idiots.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_visualization_ability#Gender_differences
University of Toronto researchers have discovered that differences between men and women on some tasks that require spatial skills are largely eliminated after both groups play a video game for only a few hours.
Which race doesn't allow their kid to waste time doing silly things like playing video games or throwing a ball or doing any other thing that involves interaction with the real world? Yep.

I honestly believe most women are terrible drivers, more so than men at least. The only ethnic group or whatever race you want to say is horrible, I'd have to say people from Mexico are generally poor fucking drivers too. At least the poorer ones, oh lord stay the fuck away from them on the freeway as they seem to have the hardest of times staying in their lanes or properly applying their brakes.

this is obv my personal experiences of driving 50+ miles every day for the last 5+ years in the Los Angeles / Southern California area.

I find the first gen sub-saharan african immigrants to be the worst drivers here. Maybe they never saw a car in africa.

Most of the Taxi drivers around here are from the Indian Subcontinent ... and they generally drive with a bit of insanity, but, they are quite capable of doing so and generally know the limits of what the car will do.

Also, my mother is an awesome driver (over 30 years of driving and got rear ended at 1 red light, otherwise no accidents), so I don't buy into the stereotypes.

People who suck at driving suck at driving (anybody who isn't paying attention or doesn't know the rules/laws = a sucky driver)
