Asians are bad drivers, right?

Asians are known for being bad drivers. They have that reputation worldwide. I remember when I was in New York and got on the bus to Kennedy Airport and it was an Asian driver, I was expecting a near-death experience. I know, talk about being prejudice. 

I have to say that considering how many cars and Asian drivers you have here in Hong Kong, it's very few car accident, and I rarely see bumps and scratches on the cars. So I am boldly saying that at least drivers in Hong Kong are pretty good drivers! 

Let me explain. First, riding in a taxi, a mini bus or even one of the tall buses gives me motion sickness. There are sudden turns, quick brakes and noisy. I sit there holding on for dear life following the road ahead to stay calm. Here is the thing, EVEN if they drive like this they very rarely get in to accidents! To me it means they know exactly how many millimeters or inches they have left to the car next to them, they know when to let someone get in the right lane, they use their blinkers frequently and drive aggressively but without getting agitated. 

Honey keeps telling me the reason there are so few accidents is because it's always traffic here and therefore everyone drives slow, people are so cheap and don't want to dent their cars, so they drive very carefully, and when you drive so slow there won't be any dents on the cars even if you bump in to each other. Sure, I buy that, it makes sense, people who drive in Hong Kong usually have very nice cars, Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari, Maserati or Porsche are common sights. But still, it's a fine line. I still claim that despite the dizzy rides the professional drivers in Hong Kong know what they are doing. 
Honk Honk!
