here's something you don't see more than 20 times a day in toronto .

So i'm driving down the street , and I'm comming upon a 4 way stop sign . In the middle of the intersection , there's a car standing ... well moving VERY VERY slow .

I look and theres an AZN woman in the corola , checking for incomming traffic ( in the middle of a 4 way stop signed intersection ) . As i'm comming close , and get ready to stop , she decides to go .

Another stopsign just 100 meters in front . She BLOWS it ... like full 25 kmph , breaklights don't evevn come on once .

Another stop sign in front ( as i'm following i'm making full stops but obviously allthogh she's not stopping for ANY stop signs , she's not driving more than 25 - 30 , otherwise i'd take another look thinking i saw wrong in the first place .

So as i'm following , we get onto a one way street . She has now cruised through 5 stop signs and she gets to a main intersection . One way street splits into two lanes . Right lane for going right . Left lane for going left ... BIG ARROWS indicating this + the obvious common sense . She's on the left lane , signaling left ... I'm on the right lane signaling right

I'm thinking ... something's wrong ... And she makes me right . ( I figured ... she blwos all stop signs , she checks for incomming traffic in the middle of a 4 way stop intersection ... she can't turn left from the turning left lane it's just WRONG ... besides she hasn't bugged me yet really , and that's extremly odd ) Just as she stops , she cuts me off and moves into the right lane with me having to slam on the breaks not to hit her , signaling left .

Shea maa ! ! ! ! ! 3 8 ! ! ! ! TZAINEEZEE DAIVA !

I vote for not allowing people to take road tests if they have allready failed 10 times . Then we'd see less non english speaking women who've lived in canada for 15 years crying at test centers


now i'm curious if i'll get flamed for beeign racist ( which i'm not , i love east azn cultures , but not 99% of the time when behind the wheel ) , or will people turn a blind eye to someone who's voicing out some of the sad realities tha we have to deal with in our day to day lives .

Not racist for speaking the truth. I had some lady from that area pull right out in front of my wife's Jetta yesterday. And the car is bright red, and always has the lights on. My mom made a great observation once, she said "Women who drive minivans are the worlds worst drivers." And from what I've seen she's right.

Zapa

lol Brown kid ...

in fact i make by far the least fun of the chinese culture , probably less than mine . as i've said i love the food , the philosophy ( I have the I Ching next to my bed like my mother keeps a bible ) , the medicine , the martial arts , the skinny tight non english speaking women bwahaha ...

But I think I make up for the equality when i start talking about driving :P ( japanese are not included here for their rare presence in canada )

:wave: (mwahaha that last emoticon rocks haha , checkout that hockey player BUD )

Funny, on britania going to hurontario from erin mills I noticed a bmw swerving a little almost hitting the curb and what not and I joked to myself wow it would be funny if the driver was asian. So im driving and the car gets beside me, and yes it is a asian female in a 745. I'm in the left lane and I have no idea how I managed this, but I had to swerve into on comming traffic (thank god no cars where there... I prolly wouldnt wouldva been killed) I swerved because she was going into my left lane but she was right beside me.. I thought she was trying to kill me... so I manage to get back in the left lane with her now infront of me with her left blinker on and me thinking wtf just happend. So I wanted to give her the finger but I didnt...... I wanted to throw my cd's at her, but I didnt. She almost killed me but it taught me a lesson, notice the drivers around you not the car.

someone once asked me "what's the scariest car I've ever been in"

I said "anything that my mom or her sister drives".

oh middleaged women are an entirely diferent ( but yet similar :P ) phenomenon when it comes to driving regardless of ethnicity . it's a matter of changing times , 20 - 30 years from now this won't be a problem .

Yea that's classic , I did it manyn many many times , and 99% of the time I was right . I'd go driving down the street , i'd see somebody do something extremly stupid and I'd bet whomever i'm in the car with that I know the aprox. etnicity of the driver in question .

In fact in this particular case , when comming up from far away , and seeing what the car is dooing i thoght to myself i know the etnicity . And then after seeing evevrything , I KNEW she had to try to turn left from the right turn lane . ( most of my friends call this : pulling a chineeze ) [ for the record , pulling a canadian is when you are on a 60 kmph street on the first lane , you signal right , you slow down to 5 kmph , go a bit into the left lane then turn as slow as possible right ... an oversized vehicle is most of the time required for this ] { pulling a ****stan is turning right , slowly from the far left lane , without signaling , while giving dirty looks to anybody that honks } ( pulling an euro starts over 170 kmph in mild trafic while giving the finger to anybody under 140 kmph in the far left lane ... there i've poined fingers a my culture also )

Everytime i was wrong , there was a single alternative result : middle aged women

i remember on my G1 written exam, there was this lady like 30-40 years old. i think the test was too hard for her cause she kept turning around and trying to look at my answers. im like wtf you thinking you doing!?! people like that should never be able to get their licenses

omg, i dun't think all of this is funny, it angers me, ive had many asian friends tell me about how their moms failed the g2 tests like 7 or 8 times :O like wtf and they are still allowed to get on the road? also they pay other people to go and do the test for them it's not even funny. Not to mention the g1 ooks that have all the possible qustions and answers on them translated into chinese.

I got my G in a frickin boat, how ppl could fail in civic's and corolla's astounds me. Actually, no, it doesn't, LOL!

I hate minivan drivers... and I hate driving minivans too.
