Road Insanity

Where I live crash levels seemed to rise after mas migration. From China, South Asians and lastly Burka wearing women.

Can you provide numbers of burka wearing women causing more accidents then non-burka wearing women?

Well this thread just got super weird and uncomfortable.

Any influx of relatively untrained drivers, not accustomed to the North American rules of the road are going to gum up the works. DC, MD, VA represent really well in this category.

Here in NC it's the worst. I expect rounding every corner that someone is going to be crossing the yellow line into my lane. No, I'm not paranoid, this happens at least twice a week, every week. One time it happened 3 times in a single day. Texting and driving is an absolute nightmare in this state.

That being said, I'm a defensive driver in every sense. I trust absolutely no one. My wife got sideswiped a year or so ago by some late teen merging onto the highway across both lanes and right into the side of her Mercedes. When I'm in my truck my feelings are pretty much "let em hit me, law of gross tonnage will win" but in the hamster-stang, not so much.

Well, SHYEAH! Because all NC drivers harbor deep seated beliefs that they’re actually Dale Earnhardt. I’ve driven in 31(?) states and without question, I dread NC the most.

In many cases, there have been a large migration from a particular area and there have been significant increase in driving issues. It can be from another country or another state, but until everyone has acclimated, it is a potential issue. We often have issues when there are a large number of new students from small rural areas, or numerous international students.

I was driver testing when NZ had the mass influx of Chinese immigrants in the late 90's.
Now I don't have a problem with Chinese people, I've had two Chinese gilfriends and a couple of Chinese mates, I quite like them, but they are the most horrific drivers.
One example, the woman who slammed on the brakes because a small bird flew across the front of her car.

In the mid 80's we had a huge influx of Asian and south Asians. They came over here and kept driving like they are back home. Now it is hard to go for a relaxing drive without having to worry if the car next to you is going to smash into you but they feel it's ok they had their blinker on.

I'm sorry where I live if I tried to put any statistics togher on anybody but white people it's considered racist. Or monopoly insurance cover did release statistics saying new driver had more accidents but would not break it down to weather they meant newcomers to the country because that's racist.

So what kind of statistical facts did you use to claim that women in burka's cause more accidents than women without burka's?

It's called visual comparison I have seen many of them standing beside their crashed cars. Frankly I thought women in burkas were not allowed to drive or go out without a man.

Is it because you were focused on them because they stand out, or did you actually asked them what lead to the crash and if they were the cause and counted all women that caused a car crash to come to this conclusion?

It's also a false thought that they are not allowed to drive.

Yep, imagine if you were on a bike? Every trip a NDE.

This doesn't rule out that somebody doesn't have a problem with Chinese or any other nationality.

I have many real life examples, where people have problems with a group of people, but when it comes to girls or some friends, they don't have the "issue".

But you know what they tell you?
Ahhh, but you are not like them, you are a good one.

The girls were

The only thing that really bugged me was public spitting. But that's so common, and disgusting, now with born Kiwis that it's not just a Chinese thing any more.
What's worse, walking barefoot is common with Kiwis too.

I have no issues with people walking barefoot. It doesn't affect me in any way.

I would have posted this in the ‘near death’ posting, but it was getting too far off track. Besides which, I doubt too many Mustang drivers have not had a “come to Jesus” moment or two. Less than two weeks on my GT and I was heading to OKC for an appointment. Just before the I-35 junction doing a modest 65 mph, some fool in a grey SUV pulls onto the highway without even looking. I tried going to the inside lane, but they kept going into that lane. I found out how good my brakes were at that moment, but it was definitely a check drawers moment. After waiting a year for the car, I probably would have throttled that driver if I didn’t stop in time. It is a pity there are so many drivers like that on the roads. Even the best of drivers can screw up, but there are a whole lot more that need to be in a car that drives itself.

I see stuff like this all the time on the I-35 corridor between DFW and OKC. I feel for ya. The second month I had my car, some Civic jumped into my lane and it was only me slamming my brakes in time that saved my car from getting a chunk taken out of it. This is why you ALWAYS have a dash cam. I think I still have that clip saved someplace....

Stay safe out there!

Nevermind them Burka Babes.

Around here it's my fellow Boomers and/or distracted drivers of many and varied demographics!
We have a large "For Profit" assisted living facility in our village. That allows "some of them" to drive! Ssssoooo they can't cut it on their own in an apartment (without an assist) but that DOESN'T preclude them being allowed to drive a multi-ton vehicle in traffic without full time direct supervision possessing an over ride capability!

Then there are the HORDES of eating, drinking, phoning, smacking the kid/s so & sos ................................
You know who I'm talkin' about.
