Hahaha. Brilliant headline.

[Sidoh]

What's the deal with all the racist stuff you've been posting lately? ;P

[Super_X]

Newby likes to envy me, and my black brothers. War-i-r too. Represent.

It's obviously because black people drive like this *imitates* whereas white people drive like this *imitates* (- Simpsons, et al)

Or maybe because White people are more likely to be hit by Black people.  The person who hits likely has a higher chance of surviving.

I'm surprised. I always thought asian drivers were the worst. =/

They can't die while losing control and hitting a tree on the highway going 25 mph.

<racist>
From what I've seen white are obnoxious and drive like they own the road. Cutting people off, slamming the brakes for no reason, hitting the accel while going to a red light, not using their indicators and then act like you were suppose to know they were turning.

Mexicans are just... well put it this way, most of them shouldn't be on the road.

Yeah they can. But the asian drivers around here are bad because their tires in their little civics lose traction going 90mph on wet freeways. Too much bass reverberating in the loud exhaust to allow for proper steering. :p

Hey, I was drifting, not losing control

[GameSnake]

Yeah, like someone already mentioned: white people are to road rage that black people are to chicken. I hate it when some asshole never turns his blinker on and almost hits me, or turns it on at the last second and cuts you off.

You can't drift well in a Civic, you'd need something lighter, more Initial D status (like a Trueno).

Actually, not only white people get angry on the road. I recently read a story about a hispanic man getting angry enough on the road to follow someone home, go back to his house, get a shotgun, then return to where that person lived.

Many people are asshole drivers, that's why others get angry. It's not just a certain demographic.

Thats nothing.  A few years ago, a college kid cut off an 80 year old guy and his wife going to church.  THe 80 year old forced the other car off the road then shot them with a crossbow.

Probably the funniest incident of road rage I've read about.

Wow... I take it you don't live in a rural area.  In my town, hardly any people use their turn signals

[Ergot]

The thing is most people don't use there signals... Sometimes you really don't need to (You're in a turn only lane, the car behind you is a mile away) but if you're trying to cut in on congested roads you should at least signal...

I agree. If I'm in the turn lane, I don't feel it necessary to use it. Also, if there's nobody around, either in front or in back of me (freeway late at night), I won't use it and just coast (sometimes use both lanes if I want). During rush hour, however, I'll use it most of the time. Especially if I'm going to be going quickly and weaving, then I'll use it just because it's more safe then weaving without using it I guess :p

In other news, whites more likely to own cars over blacks.  News at ten.

While we're going on racist stereotypes, why not just point out the flaw in your statement. You do not have to "own" a car to get into an accident, stolen cars can crash, too.

[deadly7]

Let's point out the flaw in your statement.  Not all people steal cars -- only a minimal percent actually does.

[CrAz3D]

Let's just agree to disagree....white people own cars therefore they report accidents, black people steal cars therefore they run & steal a new car.  There, happy?

[Warrior]

They are likely rammed off the road for being racist fucks.
