Ok we narrowed it down to people (Of ALL colors , backgrounds, origins, sexes) that don't pay attention and that will run anybody off the road to get to their destination. I was merely stating a FACT, about who almost hit me. Like I stated earlier, I doubt she was an illegal, they usually come here the right way and at least try to speak english. That's not racist that's a fact. I am sorry I mentioned illegal. GEE WHIZ

Hate to sound like John Rocker here (does anyone even remember him????) but 90% of the time, Asian females are behind the absolute DUMBEST $hit I've ever seen anyone pull in a four-wheeled vehicle. The most recent was a few weeks ago, while getting off I-85 onto I-285 in Atlanta. Two right lanes exit to Buford Highway, two left lanes become entrance onto I-285. Mamma-san is in the far left lane for I-285, obviously doesn't know which way she wants to go, so she comes to a DEAD STOP in the middle of merging highway traffic to ponder it awhile. I swerved around her, as did several other vehicles. About a quarter mile down the road, I glanced in my rearview, and she had managed to move over one lane and come to another dead stop, with traffic continuing to swerve around her.

Not hatin', just saying what I've observed. This was only one example; like I said, 90% of the culprits seem to me to be Asian females.

By that statement, almost everyone who rides an HD is a horrible driver considering the vast majority are 50+.

Then many of them are from England, where they drive on the other side of the road, which adds into their confusion. Driving to the liquor store in the tourist area around Disney World is like trying to reach the exhaust port on the Death Star. Forget the Tail of the Dragon, try to survive the ears of the Mouse!!!
really sorry dude, I was hungery, kids and wife were yelling at each other, I was trying to read the map and you are right almost did miss my exit. Hey we had a great day once we made it into the park.

I don't think it was you, because you didn't mention being on the phone.
