I dunno about those #s, but i agree with BZ that it is pretty wild. People don't usually use their signals and go like 10-20 kms over the speed limit. Still though, those numbers cannot be that absurdly high.
FOBs are starting to appear in like the Northeast a lot too now... I am fine with the Taiwanese FOBs, its the cantonese ones that annoy me.

Well you gotta keep in mind that there's 1.3 billion people in China, so of course those numbers are gonna be high.
While I have to say that stereotypes usually arise from truths, I can't always make a generalization about an ethnicity, but in my experience with cars... I walk to school every day, and there's always this crosswalk that cars have to stop to let pedestrians through. The people who don't pay attention to me and just drive right by me are always Asians, old people, and rednecks in pickup trucks.

When you say that, do you refer to Asians who learned driving in China or driving here in America. They probably didn't take Drivers Ed and all that shit or something 
Most of the people that get hit here or run lights here are like white college kids.

Most likely Asians who learned driving in China, but there are exceptions. Crosswalking in China is almost suicidal sometimes if anyone visits a city in China. I nearly got ran over 3 times crossing a Beijing road for the first time when I visited Beijing. But then again, you'll get some of those Asian punks raised in North America, who think they're all hotshot by driving recklessly
Funny thing though, my pop's friend immigrated to Canada from Xiamen in China, and his job was a driving instructor. Ironically, it took him 3 tries just to pass the Class 7 Road test in Canada for a new driver. There's a good example of the sharp contrast of the driving styles.
