They're fkg clueless here. Just today, there was a hagwon bus driver honking at the car/cars ahead of him. The front car was making a left run on a green light, but there were kids crossing the street on a walk light. What did he want the driver to do? Run over the kids? Of course he probably wasn't looking that far ahead. That's part of the problem here: people can only see as far as their noses. And if they can see, they don't give a fk anyway at times.

I spent 7 years in Japan, many of which I commuted by bike. Yes, on occasion, I was nearly hit by inconsiderate drivers who paid little attention to traffic laws. This, I am sure, is an all too familiar occurrence in all countries of the world. What I believe is being stated is that Korea drivers suck more than most. It's no surprise. Koreans have an absolutely terrible sense of self-awareness and spacial relationship. A quick trip to the supermarket will give you ample examples of this.

I always wonder if they are actually late for something. My guess is not.

I saw a nice one yesterday. I was driving on the right and couldn't help but pass a car in the left going a little slow. Someone came up behind that car and following real close beeped. Like 'get outamyway' beep.
Anyway, he pulled in to my lane following a lady behind me in a nice black car. We came to the lights. We all slowed and stopped. D1ckwad didn't or coldn't because he left no gap between his car and the one in front and drove into the back of that nice black car.

I nearly had a fight with a truck delivery guy last night. He drove on half the sidewalk for a good 20 meters pushing people out the way. I could tell I had move out of the way. When he passed he had his window down and I shouted, 뭘하는거야!
When he got out of the truck he looked at me and gave a dumbass d1ck look, so I let him have some of my shouted words, then, when I finished the store he was at the side of his truck so I stopped and said some more. I wanted to smack him. I don't often feel that way.
