    Well for some people, they make fun of Chinese people being bad drivers cause they see China as people who ride bicycles rather then drive, thus they call us bad drivers after seeing a couple of crashes from Chinese drivers...

    Its frustrating seeing them make fun of my race,.. especially when they drive around killing themselves at high speeds

    I think it is nothing to do with race.. and esp not women. I see nothing of that happening in my social circle or life even. women and yes, chinese r careful drivers..
    so i think it is just a stereotype

    Taiwanese people aren't Chinese people.

    Mainland chinese drives like their lives is on the line.

    Technically the citizens of Taiwan are Chinese. Taiwan is known as the Republic of China and Mainland China is known as People's Republic of China. Its just that Taiwan doesn't like being put under the same category.

    i don't know why. but here's my theory. since chinese are only people in industrious countries to not have history of biuldiing cars, don't have that ability or knowledge to drive, especially the women. I think we could potentially be good depends on which environment and the family influences.

    I'm Male Chinese by race (Not from China) *hates how most China Chinese like to include anyone with Chinese Heritage as CHINA CHINESE*

    And I have to agree Chinese females are terrible drivers. Regardless of where they're from or where they've been trained. They like pointing the finger at everyone but realise little of how poor they are themselves.

    I think it's something to do with peripheral vision. They don't see the road the same way when they're in the drivers seat and when they're alternatively in the passengers. They can't relate the 2.

    I don't know if anyone has seen this video, but its called Chink in the Armour, someone did a documentry on rumors about Chinese people and driving was one of it. He did many tests to see if they were true and there was even a driving test within the video, its pretty funny.

    Guess youtube only allow certain amount of minutes on each video so to watch the whole thing which is about 40 minutes long I think you have to go to http://www.baunmah.com/cita/movie.html.

    Maybe there are too many Chinese drivers on the road. So, the chance of the person in front of you driving very slow and being Chinese is very high.

    Not only chinese female are worst driver; i think most of the girls are worst driver, cause the reason can be the nerves.
