confucius Posted June 19, 2004 at 05:52 AM Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 at 05:52 AM It's just you. No disrepect to Orientals, but we have in America what we call "Chinese fire drill". That's when one of those big Vietnamese families opens all four doors of their sedan at the stoplight and switch driver, co-pilot, and backseat babysitters. Sorry I don't have time to translate all that into chicken scratch for you, but that's life in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted June 19, 2004 at 06:43 AM Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 at 06:43 AM maybe because many of them are immigrants who learned how to drive in their 40s, 50s, and 60s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyman Posted June 19, 2004 at 04:29 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 at 04:29 PM seldom see a proper driver in china either... i mean, hey, they dont check mirrors, never signal their intention, never keep a safety distance, and they cant park properly in the parking lot. i remembered back home i used to teach a chinese kid english. his dad was a senior engineer on an exchange program... 'gongfei' of course. he was frequently fined for breaking traffic rules, usually speeding, and in the end had his license suspended after 3 months.

xuechengfeng Posted June 19, 2004 at 05:34 PM Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 at 05:34 PM lol.. i hope nobody takes this offensive, or some dumb stereotype which it seems to sound like.. but in my experience, everytime i encounter someone who is a horrible driver.. they are typically chinese! or drunk! or 90!

holyman Posted June 19, 2004 at 11:37 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 at 11:37 PM hmm, old people can sometimes be good drivers. my father's 'sifu', an old man who came to my country about 50 or 60yrs ago(he passed away some yrs ago, at the age of 93) to teach martial arts, learnt driving at 60, and he got his license. he's a pretty good driver, but too bad his car was stolen 3 yrs after he passed the test. a mini cooper i remembered... something like the one mr. bean drives around.
