Are all Asians bad drivers?

Question

It was a question, not a statement! (Maybe I thought about it after being run of the road today by a guy driving in the middle of the road and going the wrong way at 80km.h?)
I don not have a thing against Asians and am married to a wonderful, spirited Asian. I love my Asian family and friends and have respect for our diffrences. Why can people not just answer a question without having to get so angry over it?

Answer 1

Some people seem to make it a sports to get angry about everything, best way to handle it is to ignore them :)

But...no, no, no, not all Asians are bad drivers. I know a lot of normally skilled drivers among my friends, even you would dare to sit in their car. I don't say I'm a particularly good driver myself, but at least I haven't had an accident in the 4 years I drive. Then I have to admit that I drive very carefully, because my dad would kill me if I had an accident (I use one of his cars mostly).

Answer 2

I'm married to a half-Japanese guy. He's a fantastic driver and even drives ambulances. His aunt used to take 30 minutes to parallel park alongside a curb even with no cars around. I live in OC, California, and there are a lot of horrible Asian drivers. It's a sad fact not just a stereotype.

Answer 3

Asian-Americans... I figure they're no different from everyone else.
But Asians in Asia... I've heard that the Chinese largely ignore driving rules- they just do whatever works. And in Japan and Korea... Gosh, I mean, think about it. Millions of people ...equals lots of traffic!

But isn't it overly generic to say "are ALL Asians bad drivers?" Out of billions of Asians, isn't there the remote possibility that SOME of them are good drivers?

Answer 4

Amazingly enough the answer is yes. There was a study made by the Institute for Glittering Generalities, and the conclusion was that there was not a single Asian anywhere who could be classified as a good driver.

Answer 5

The reason people are getting angry is that you asked if "ALL" Asians are bad drivers, not some, not most but ALL. That makes it a sterotype and makes you look like a bigot. I am not saying that you are but it is a bigoted question.

Answer 6

I guess not, especially, the ford company is now starting to have their Road Safety program. They are giving informations to the society esp. to the youth. Informations that will help the drivers and even the commuters to be more responsible when it comes to their duty about road safety.

Answer 7

All Asians are bad drivers because my ex boyfriend was Asian and he ran over 6 people and therefore all Asians are bad drivers and murder everyone they can. Don't trust them or date them. #whitegirlpower

Answer 8

wELL, i'M aSAIN & i ONLY TOTALED 4 AUTOMOBILES & 1 MOTORCYCLE but I learned to drive from one haole, & I went to high school w/ haoles, & then I moved to Maui where all of n=my friends were haole because I lived in West Maui ( Haolewood) oh yeah, I also drank & drove & did every kind of street drugs you could name. So in my opinion not all Asains are bad drivers, many of the cab drivera on Oahu are Asains & if you get in enough accidents or tickets you lose your job. So, every ethnic culture has drivers who SUCK! Wake up mororn!

Answer 9

No not all Asians drivers are bad.You do not make a generalized conclusion.In every race certainly the are many good drivers and not a few they are bad drivers.To be a good and bad driver is not affected by his/her race and religion.It depends on his/her discipline .,moral and habit.and his/her knowledge on the related country's traffic regulation...

Answer 10

No. But inexperienced drivers are bad drivers. Teen agers from O.C., poor farmers from Xian. You get the idea.

Proof? My ex-girlfriend is from Japan and she drives very skillfully. I wasn't surprised.
