I will have to concede your point. It's not just Chinese it's an Asian thing. One of my bff's is Vietnamese...I tease her periodically about her driving because it is frankly quite shitty. She giggles her ass off and admits she's a terrible driver.
More accurately, it's an Asian immigrant thing. Then their kids/grandkids want to overcompensate by driving like they're driving in a scene from Tokyo Drift...
I believe it's due to less spatial awareness, and am convinced it's genetic... It has to be, since other races can typically handle motor vehicles with ease.
My guy hypothesizes that it's because their cultures are more collectivist and conformist. Not bold and individualistic like Americans/Westerners. But I don't know that I buy that either.
I used to troll that they should conquer bikes in the West before they move onto motorized vehicles. lol
Your guy is on to something. Asians have historically had "hive-mind" collectivist/conformist societies by design. There may be a genetic variable at play here as studies have shown that while Asians have a higher mean intellect level, they also tend to produce fewer super-geniuses than say "white" northwestern Europeans or Ashkenazi jews. On the other hand, they also tend to produce fewer sociopaths, morons and homosexuals, so the DNA sequence might be on to something too.
