Asians cant drive worth a damn.
My favorite Jeju move is the "try to turn left across oncoming traffic and expect them to stop"
Classic. Almost a t bone every time

Not to be a smart ass but China is not an OECD member. Koreans are certainly not safe drivers. What scares me is that they say the Chinese are worse and they are going to give them keys to a car.

China's worse, hands down. Also not a member of the OECD.

Cool. No offense felt. I was/am aware that China isn't an OECD member. Only bringing to notice that Korea isn't a 5 Star country for driving safety. I probably shouldn't have thrown in the OECD part.

Korea will forego the safety part if it brings in an extra WON. Remember the SEWOL.

I'm aware that China isn't an OECD country. I shouldn't have used the OECD statement.

China is worse, I agree. But, Korean drivers are crap also.

Well then there was no point in bringing that up. Everyone knows Koreans are crap drivers.

I have friends who moved on to China, and came back screaming how much worse Chinese drivers are.

Japanese drivers are good drivers. I checked some stats. 3X safer than Korean drivers. Very Happy

Korea seems to be the bastard child of the OECD.
