The vehicle was completely blocking the right lane of the southbound traffic, and the person would not budge, until the light turned green again.
The driver was Asian. Is there any reason for it? I had an Asian friend once tell me that he believes it's because they did not learn to drive until a later age, whereas many Americans learned at age 16-17. Is this true?  |
If da Asian driver can't see you in a mirror, you don't exist!
No seriously, that's how they learn to drive, at least in Korea. They are not taught to turn and look. They use the mirrors and that's it. Now i'm no pro driver or anythinggg, but i'm pretty damn good, and i'm also pretty sure these kinds of habits wont help the "stereotype".
I taught my K-Wife (soon to be ex but that's another thread) to drive here in Murica, so I did my part motherfuckers.
