Are Asians bad drivers?
It seems like everywhere I go I always hear someone talking about how an Asian couldn't parallel park for 10 minutes or how an Asian is always driving badly on the road. Im not being prejudice but why do I always hear these remarks? My uncle use to live in these expensive apartments in San Jose and one time we watched an Asian try and parallel park for five minutes. He says that kind of stuff happens all the time when he watches from his porch.
I dunno what it's like in California, but here in Leicester in England we have the biggest population of Indian people outside of India, so I can categorically say this:
No, Indians per se, aren't bad drivers.
But old Indians who haven't adapted to driving in Britain, are.
The younger generation who have grown up in Britain are absoultely fine.
It's their parents and grandparents who still have the same mentality towards driving that they did in India who are bad at driving.

Actually they extremely careful drivers. They follow every rule to the last decimal. But they sometimes overdo it. Which is why we can see them driving 20 miles under speed limit...They're not BAD drivers. They're TOO GOOD drivers, ya know what I mean?
Lies. Going 30 miles per hour under the speed limit constitutes bad driving and creates just as much danger as going 30 miles per hour over the speed limit.

Not in Leicester, in the UK mate. 🙂
But like I said, it tends to be the older generation who get on my nerves by blocking box junctions and ignoring right of way on roundabouts etc.
It might have more to do with their age and their reluctance to acclimatise to 'new' driving conditions than their actual ethnicity.
Like I said - I know a lot of young Indian men and most of them are good drivers.
It's just their parents and grandparents lol.
It depends on where someone has passed there test... If I took a test in half the driving centres around the world the hardest part would be driving in a straight line.. Some countries don't have a road system worthy of passing a test to use... And with such a low volume of cars on them its nearly impossible to crash..
Last hol I went on was to kos... And the roads and traffic system there was something a non-driver could deal with..
We learn to Parra park so that we can get into the tight gaps.. There isn't any tight gaps in kos...
