It's not really a stereotype if it's true



EDIT: OMG The one at 2:05 HAHAHAHAH! What the **** are these people doing?

It's true. Asians can't drive for shit. Obviously there are exceptions to all rules, but stereotypes arise out of something based in truth.

1. is it just me, is there an absence of any sort of traffic signs/lights. I couldnt see any in any of those videos.

2. regardless, 90% of the accidents in this video if you were even remotely coherent you would see them coming a mile away and avoided them. After each one I sat there in awe, how did you not see that car coming? dude/scooter standing right in front of you?

3. WTF is with all the people just wandering around aimlessly in the middle of roads?

 

[PatrickSharpRules]

Wait what the ****?!?!? Do they have street lights or stop signs? None of those intersections seemed to have anything.

Is it just me or do almost all of these look like they're going in slow motion? It might just be cause i just got done watching most shocking, and they have some nasty crashes on that show.

I have no idea what the situation is in China, but when I was in Korea the stop signs and stop lights were "optional". People on bicycles or scooters or motorcycles almost always ignored them.

Sounds pretty fuckin dumb but if I am on a bike of any kind, I'm going to concern myself with anything with an engine that weighs tons more than me and my bike. I figure the chances of me inflicting more damage on the car are basically slim and none. Obviously the Chinese do not agree with my theory.

Much easier to hit something when you can't see over the wheel.

It seems in most cases that both participants in these accidents are idiots.

You guys will be happy to know that, in India, it is very much the same. My time being driven around there a few years ago....was absolutely brutal. I thought I was going to die every day I stepped into the car to get back to my hotel.



We won't have to worry too much about China and India stealing our jobs in a few years, if this trend holds. They'll all kill each other. :lol:

It's funy cause it's true. I shake my head in disbelief every day. just like the joke goes, 'How do you blind a chinese person? You put a windshield in front of them.'

It is definitely true.

My roommate freshman year was Asian.

Shit was scary.

Only thing worse is an Asian woman driving.
