MLD Woody Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Well, it does suck for the majority of refugees in the area, and for Muslims here. ...

LogicIsForSquares Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I think they just weren't nice enough to the immigrants. With enough hugs and ignored sexual assaults, these folks should finally come around to being a part of Western civilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very large group of them that won't assimilate though, even though it's a small number doing terrorist attacks.

One Post Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Muslim truck drivers are the worst. Had one ask me what state he was in then he argued with me about it.

bbedward Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Muslim truck drivers are the worst. ftfy. Holy shit are they crazy, at least the ones that come over from abroad. Maybe partly because in their countries driving insane is expected and the horn is the most important accessory on the vehicle. Maybe not just muslims though, just arab drivers in general. My lebanese godfather is a good example...and I rode in a car with some saudi friends before, last time I ever did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started my vacation driving from one end of vegas to the other (McCarron north towards UT) and I swear, in that strip of four or five lane highway there were like 5 or 6 accidents being cleaned up alone. Then on the highways between cities people drive so close behind, cut in front or generally just are dicks. Still, a stroll in the park compared to most places. I mean, I was happy to drive over there. I'm happy to drive in europe as well. I will never drive in asia. People move from crazy to fucking dangerous.

American drivers aren't crazy they're just generally stupid, oblivious, and have zero awareness as to what's going on around them. The asshole level varies a little bit depending on what part of the country you're in, but the stupid level is pretty universal. I always had 3 categories: The dumbass, the asshole, and the dumb asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I find it bizarre, given that you have drivers ed courses at every school, right? Seems like everyone should have some common sense when it comes to driving. But nope. How stringent are the theory and practical tests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I lived in Japan off and on for over 8 years and had to get a SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) Drivers license. Pass a written and drivers test. Japanese go through a very strict school and test to get their license. But afterwards seem to forget everything they learned. Very polite people until they get behind the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, they just seem to have more in common with western values, honour, respect etc for fellow citizens. Compared to china, for example...

gftChris Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 So I had a little look at pass rates for driving tests, and in OH, it seems like it's around 80%: http://www.dispatch.com/content/pages/data/school-education/drivers-test/drivers-test-passing-rates.html Contrast to the UK where it's apparently 43%. I think it's probably a bit harder to pass over here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like everyone should have some common sense when it comes to driving. But nope. How stringent are the theory and practical tests? In Ohio I don't think driver's education is required unless you're under 18 or maybe 21 (you can get licensed at 16, and drive with a parent in the car at 15 1/2). Driver's ed carries a benefit of lower insurance rates. Driver's ed courses is basically some old fuck rambling about boring shit like traffic laws and playing videos about people dying in fatal car crashes, then you go out driving a few times with an instructor - the whole purpose of the instructor is to prepare you to pass the actual driving test. Then you do a vision, written (computer nowadays) test, and a driving test with some BMV dude. It's all stupidly easy. You drive around the block with the BMV dude. Then you do a parallel parking test with like 5 traffic cones - except if you go to driver's ed they don't teach you how to actually maneuver the car - they literally teach you like - turn wheel half turn until you see this by the back pillar and then turn other way for X seconds. Plus you know barely anybody anymore knows how to drive a manual transmission - they just coast along paying no attention to anything. Really a good amount of people here probably don't even know how to open their bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbedward Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I remember when I did mine I had a dude that had to have weighed almost 400 pounds in tiny ass ford I took my test in. He said absolutely nothing the whole time but docked me points for doing things like using a turn signal 1 second too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
