Who says Asians are bad drivers?

[Finn]

I think that negative descrimination in the modern world is bad and yes you are right about "evolution" but whether we have truely evolved is sometimes debatable.

Sounds like a beauty pageant speech.

[Grahameeboy]

Exactly. Why do the stats separate the various ethnic groups?

To point out the obvious here, if I'm stopped at a set of lights and an Asian (or African for that matter) drives straight into me and kills me, Grahameeboy thinks I'm the bad driver?

I don't know why there seperate.No I am not saying that dummy....

Who says? Me.

Those that come in from various built up locations where owning a car costs a fortune, and public transport is cheap and reliable have no need to drive - so they don't.

I don't attribute it to race, more a simple lack of experience and more buying power. If someone's never needed to drive how can they expect to be good? Combine that with people coming from wealthy economies to NZ where they can afford high priced and (generally) safer cars and we have the situation where Asians can cause a lot of accidents, but escape the injury statistics.

I honestly hold that view but hasten to add it also applies to other rich, low experience drivers like kids in Remmers driving Daddy's Mercedes.

I don't think it's not an ethnic thing per se - i.e. the ethnicity of a driver is not the causal factor... but it happens to manifest in some ethnicities for other less direct reasons.

Asians are SH*T drivers!

Meh, im asian, and i can drive.....just different driving style over here, if you think asians cant drive...go to asia and drive....theyll think you cant drive...over here..tbh..i think its all the asian kids with rich daddys getting Evos and RX8s for their first cars =.=....ohh..and ive lived here for 12 years...not really a fob lol

And somehow you believe being able to discriminate is bad?.....
We wouldn' t have evolved as a species without it.

Racism on the other hand is negative.
NOT discrimination...
which is natural....
Positive even

Discrimination as in the ability to tell the difference between things isn't what's being discussed. Discrimination as in prejudice (in this case of another race) is.

Experience is definitely a big part. People who come over from London or New York that have taken public transportation all their lives are often just as bad, if not worse... not to mention that we're one of the only countries in the world with the give way if you're turning left rule

i got T boned at an intersection on Sunday night (we're fine) by a young Asian girl who ran a red light. I believe she was talking on a cellphone. 8 grand of damage to our car (her insurer is paying), ride in an ambulance, cops called whole drama. We have no car for at least a couple of weeks as well.

Silly bitch running around the scene screeching "So solly, my fault my fault" and dialling 111 to roll out the emergency services.

This is the proof of my assertion therefore that Asians cannot drive.

Remember folks: Asian drivers, no survivors.

worst part of the story: I had tickets to the new STar Trek film in my pocket and she made me miss it grrrrrrrrrrr.

[Rayray401]

Lol, guts for you HDC, get better bah. and i agree with young female asian drivers...they not careful enough..dont look...end up with OOPS...next thing you know...us asians cant drive...i mean..ive never crashed before...only time ive crashed was on my bike..where i got T boned by a 93 yo white guy..

[Grahameeboy]

Asians are SH*T drivers!

So are Kiwi's.................

[Dave Lobster]

It doesn't matter where you're from originally.. If you get your driving licence in your Corn Flakes box, and there's no reason to get any training, you're not likely to be all that much cop.

On the bridge one day a white girl was texting and came oover into my lane...I see more white crap driving because whites don't care and are arrogant...asians just perhaps ignorant at times because of where they come from

Have you driven in London...we still drive cars which is why there is now a toll to slow congestion....

[Rayray401]

when i was in italy...farrrr 8 lane round about...no white lines at all...dont know whats what..and this was rush hour too..in taiwan..scooters everywhere..weaving all over..cars lane split..

[Brian d marge]

European males New zealanders should just HTFU and accept they are crap drivers , period, too much testosterone and the me factor .

A least Popcorn Sutton was proud of being a Redneck. and his Pappy made the finest shine !

and by driving it doesn't mean car control it means road-craft !
