Hate to say that in general they are bad, but most Asians at work that I have ridden with have not performed too well. Russians aren't any better, too. I find the Asians and Russians at work can't modulate the pedal and have a habit of cutting in front of people when making turns. Most of the respective communities are related to each other, so they probably learned from the same person.
I just mark most of their driving as quirky. There is only one person that I won't let drive me again, as the rest of the people aren't terrible. Still, I have ridden with many natives (white, black, Hispanic...) of the USA that suck just as well. Depending on how much you like spirited driving will heavily influence how much you like my driving! |

Being Asian myself, I have to admit I'm not a good driver, but there are worse in my part of the city, especially people who keeps blabbering on their cell phone while they drive. That drives me nuts.

IMHO, Jewish drivers are the worst in NYC and (selfish and inconsiderate) the ladies are hopeless ...not being racist here..so.... This is based on my observation since I used to live in a Jewish community, they never fail to not put on turn signals, reverse a vehicle before looking, swing out the drivway without looking, stopped without a signal or slowing down, do their hairs while the car in motion, put on makeups when car in motion, run the light and stop sign, talk and look at passenger while driving...its endless.........I don't live here too long so I guess maybe NYC drivers are terrible generally. Asians are a lil better but still horrible sometimes.

i guess it all depends which area you live in etc....if the area is heavily populate by asians, or frequently visited by asians, then yea, you're bound to have sucky asian drivers. i guess the main reason they are bad drivers is that they hesitate, dont follow procedure (checking blind-spots) and are unsure/no confidence on the streets. all three of those combined are a sure accident waiting/cause to happen.
you can see them on the streets all the time, in front of you, blinker on forever....they dont switch lanes yet, but as soon as you move over to pass the slow-poke, they cut you off. what gives?

asians are terrible drivers down here in san diego. once there was this car on this street going 25 in a 45 and in the back window there was a sign "new driver". So we pulled up next to the crappy honda and sure enough it was a 30 year old asian women who was gripping the steering wheel like it was life or death.

I was in southeast Asia last year and I got to see what it is like to drive over there. There was no signalling and not really any lanes. You pretty much go were your car can fit. I can see that bad behavior coming over with 1st generation immigrants, but it doesn't stop there. These people teach their kids to drive, giving parental advice as every parent does and subsequently passing on the same bad habits.

shipill, from your writing, I though you're Asian. Wrong presumption on my part I guess.

My filipina ex managed to flip her civic over in a ditch on a rainy day. How you manage to lose control of a fwd, 150hp civic in light showers and get it to roll over is beyond me... Luckily, she's my ex, so she wont be going anywhere near my 3 anytime soon

Worst drivers = women in SUVs.
This closely followed by teenage girls in used imports.
