White: try to dictate everything going on while driving the highway. Will jump over just to slow you down. Do annoying things to get reaction.

Black: hostile & quickly enraged on the highway. Alot of unreasonable behavior even when they are in the wrong. Alot of yelling you cant hear & erratic hand/head movements.

Asian: JESUS CHRIST. Brake when switching lanes. Drive slow af & still riding brakes. Its fucking perplexes me how you can be fluid at tai chi, but be an absolute mess behind wheel of a car

Mexican: Drunk swerving & staring at people. Always drunk fucking swerving in work truck. Staring at people in rear view & sideview mirror like no one can see them. Love fucking staring at people

Now, a combination of all of these people on the road is absolute chaos

*These are just common stereotypes in USA, stfu with everyone's diff

In Asians defense, they are excellent drivers who have tons of patience in their own country. The slow driving and braking makes so much sense when everyone does it. They just let people in and avoid accidents. I was actually in awe of how careful they were. It doesn't fit in with our fast paced American way though.

This list is pretty funny!

That was my point, they do drive slow here in America, I agree with you. I've seen them do complete u-turns from middle lanes! smh

You're list has some great observations.

Definitely agree with white.

This dumb as yuppie beta cuts me off just to go back in the other lane and then he slows down.

I’m in a company car, dual cab ute,with a huge ass trailer do I need double breaking distance.

I catch up to him at the lights. He’s eating a fucking sandwich and I go “are u fuckinh stupid or something?”

He goes sorry sorry and blames it on the chick he got around, who was doing the speed limit. He just wanted to be in front.

I go get off the road u idiot, I don’t need to end up in your trunk cuz you have road rage.

Then he goes “u think that’s road rage, I’ll show u road rage. And he speeds and takes off in a red light.

Yuppy driving a Ford territory

Eating a sandwich is far right lane activity & should be added to dmv handbooks

Crappy driving to me is more of a car make/ model thing then it is an ethnicity of the people driving.

For example, this is my list of people who are terrible fucking drivers:

1. People who drive Chevrolet suburbans need to smack a telephone pole going 70 preferably

2. BMW anything, they all believe that they need to be faster than everyone else on the highway and they don't give a shit about rules of the road. They should all die in a car fire oh, that they probably started to begin with.

3. Prius drivers need to just move over out of the left lane and stop treating their gas mileage as a video game for high score.

4. Volvo drivers because they have a smug look on their face but otherwise I can deal.

After having driven enough miles to cover at least a third of my existence here on planet Earth, the only people I feel sympathy for are the big truck drivers and how they have to put up with the aforementioned list.

Subaru's, especially Outbacks, llike to pull out in the left lane to pass but go the same speed as the car that they are passing.

And those Jeeps with the X's on the tail lights just get on my nerves. It's like they're mocking me.

LOL! I also understand that they are COMPLETE ASSHOLES when it comes to servicing their rides.

Was it you that said that @Nikkistar? 🤣

I work in sales. When someone pulls up in a Subaru, we all run away. Difficult, entitled, read consumer reports but didnt understand a word, yet still insists that they know better and everyone else is an idiot.

My mother is in auto sales and says the same thing.

Yup! They see that a lane is ending so instead of merging like the rest of us, they race to the front. I refuse to let them in. They can hit me.

I thought this this was going to be about Asian's.

I don't like slow driver's. I'm your typical LA driver. I drive fast!

Asian lady near my old office had traffic backed up around the block trying to parallel park.

It was quite amusing to watch.

I'm sure many other people have said it too! It's a known thing in sales, stay away from the Subaru drivers and Indians(nice people, but will try to beat you up on price).

I drive a BMW, and I have to admit that the younger folks that drive older ones or the newer ones are fuck faces that modify them and look fucking stupid doing it, race around going ZOMG I GOT TWIN TURBO! And think most of the road needs to move outta their way cause BMW YALL.

They all need to diaf.

As much as I love my mom, I fucking HATE her driving. And most of my family that are of the older generation drive the same as well, and we are Asian.

All of them, do that god awful brake, go, brake, go, brake, go bullshit when approaching stop signs and red lights. Looking around, and floating into the next lane thing too. And none of them can parallel park to save their lives.

I chalk it up to them being short and not being able to comfortably reach the pedals with their 5'3 and under 5' selves.

Subaru owners. Never met a BMW driver that I trusted behind the wheel! 😩

To be fair, its not the BMW you shouldn't trust in terms of me. It's me being Asian that you shouldn't. 😆

Italians 😱

Oh ..don’t get me started.

Every time I go to Rome, I fear for my life...whenever I take a taxi at the airport, those guys can go 100 mph ...I get to my hotel in 15-20minutes. When it should take 45-60minutes to get to the city.

They are MENTAL.

White drivers are either going out of their way to be obnoxious, or going exactly the speed limit in the fast lane. Which is equally as infuriating. Then you have whites like myself who likes to drive 80+ (slowing down to the speed limit at every exit incase of cops) and let people pass me. I do things like let obnoxious drivers pass me, then catch up to them while keeping a safe distance that way I can let the next person who gets up on me pass me and get up on the original asshole. I also let obnoxious drivers pass me to get up on slow drivers to coax them into moving. I like to let others do the dirty work so I have less of a chance of crashing.
