im not taking it personally at all:confused: . i just hate it when people COULD go faster then 70 but they fear hitting a patch of ice on a dry road. these people are mainly asians(mainly the middle aged-old ones) and old people |

im oriental and im not too bad at driving. alot better then all the other ones which think you can go 70 down calgary trail where the speed limit is 110. or all those that drive 40 in a 60 zone(that one seriously pisses me off).
Oriental is on that list cause quite a few years ago there was a study done, and really it could/would apply to Native Americans as well. It had something to do with the shape if the eyes. It was determined that people with "squinty eyes" as compared to people with "round eyes" have less peripheral vision.
Mind you the "study" could have been an Urban legend of sorts, but it was the reason/excuse why Oriental seemed like worse drivers on average. |

actually, i just noticed that its the asians/old people that driver slower then the rest of the drivers. that study is a waste of resources if it is in fact true |
