I learned something today. Specifically, in Japan elderly drivers have to display a sticker on their car, called a Koreisha mark.
This helps everyone else know the driver is potentially a liability.
There are other marks too, including ones for hard of hearing, disabled, and inexperienced driver.
Not a bad idea imo.
Oh, we got stuff like that here, too.
When I see idiots with huge pit-bull stickers on the windows, excessive Ron Paul or Sarah Palin stuff, dents on every corner of the car, its a clear indication I need to stay the hell away!
Or that sticker I saw once and only once, “I’m a Libertarian and I** VOTE!**”
Unsurprisingly it was on beat-to-hell pickup truck.
Wow, driving while Asian AND old? Stay very far away!
Is it appropriate make jokes about Asians and driving in this thread?
Cause I have a couple.
I say yes! And those jokes, while inappropriate and based on stereotypes…exist for a reason. I have seen some really…interesting situations involving elderly and/or Asian drivers in my years of driving.
Anyone with a Jesus-related vanity plate or a Lexus SUV is a terrible driver.
Old men in late model Corvettes are the model of restraint.
These people piss me off! They are probably fulfilling a boyhood dream of buying a racy sports car, they can’t afford it (or don’t think to get it) until they’re like 60, and then they never drive it over 40 mph!
Just buy a horse and buggy, old man!
There are a couple of guys that exactly match this around here. Both have the absolute shiz-nit Z-what-the-fuck Corvette (one is blue with red/white racing stripes, the other is comp orange) and they tool around in the left lane about 6 miles under the speed limit, and sit so low and are so zoned out that they never see me up thier ass, and never move over.
I regularly blow past them in (unfortunatly, in the right lane) my '71 2002, or my old pickup, or my fuciking bicycle for Christs sake!
I swear, there should be a test (other than $$) for buying decent cars!
