|
|
So I'm cruising down highway 1 south of Seoul today along with all the Koreans...everyone's going 120, 130 or 150 and having a good ol' time...some people are weaving around some people are just cruising in the fast lane at 90...
so i cut around this guy in the fast lane doing about 100 (i'm doing around 130) and pull in behind a older black musso or something who is also doing about 130...and what happens...the guy JAMS on his brakes!! WTF!!
so I jam on my brakes whip back into the third lane go past him and waggle my finger at him, like a good korean asshole...
but wait...Koreans don't do that kind of stuff...they don't ever look in their mirrors so they wouldn't know to jam on their brakes at exactly the wrong time...
well...whadyaknow...it was an american...short little guy with some sort of self-esteem issue playing left lane speed nazi on a four lane road...you know it's hard enough having to adjust my driving for Koreans without having to worry about some speed nazis from america jamming on their brakes!!
I only have one real comment: If you are going to drive in this country, leave your home country bad driving habits at home and drive like a Korean. Its easier to deal with the Korean bad driving cause it's consistent...throwing a monkey wrench into the mix just causes problems.
To top it off...I don't think the guy knew that under Korean law he'd be mostly at fault if I had hit him. |

It's possible there was a camera there. A lot of people jam the breaks as a kneejerk reaction whenever they see a camera without really looking behind them.. |

It's bad enough that Koreans think every white person is an American.
WTF is YOUR problem?
Did you check his passport?  |
