I could argue that half of near misses involved either an elderly Asian or elderly white folk. WHY ARE THEY STILL ON THE ROAD, SRSLY.
While not racist, that's just my input.
Those stats don't show how many people Asians have killed.
Discrimination - that's what I faced at auckland hospital recently. My cultural needs were NOT met by the nursing staff, and I'm very disatisftied.
Not sure I am reading it right
So 7% of Asians have caused Fatalities/Accidents
or
7% of Asians have died or been hurt in Accidents (cause of accident unknown)?
Not sure how either of those prove that one Ethnic group is a better driver than the other.

Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
It was a snap shot, however, what it is telling us is the percentage of ethnic groups involved in injury / casualty crashes so given the big difference between Asians and European NZers it is not unreasonable to suggest that Asians are not the main culprits / cause of accidents / bad drivers
We really need to have harder practical exams and more regular practical exams especially for people as they become less aware of what's going on around them.
Glad to see asians causing less accidents as a percentage than their percentage of the population, however I still do see a disproportionately high number of dangerous driving incidents caused by older asian women. I guess this is how the stereotypes come to be
my wifes grandad was 78 and still driving, his doctor said he should fail his medical "but as long as he staid local he'd let him pass"????, we finaly disabled his car when I was doing some stuff at his place and he came home with 3 flat tyres, I asked him what he did to get them and he didn't even realise they were flat turned out he'd run over a traffic island and hadn't noticed that either
