Latins and Hispanics driving?

Ok, I live in Guatemala. So I KNOW what I AM talking about by personal experience. I just saw this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Ag.iIF0AMTr44jEzqgsKfRYezKIX?qid=1006051222814
And although I don't agree that mexicans are stupid yes I DO agree that 90% of hispanics, at least in their own country drive like they are blind, drunk and stupid all at the same time. They do not know the definition of a lane, blinkers, turn signals, one way street, and GETTING INTO A TURN LANE. I see things like what that person described here all the time. and THEN when you honk ur horn or something THEY have to gall to get mad at YOU and sometimes just shoot you for the fun of it. Now don't start calling me a racist bcause I'm not, I'm latin american myself, and I've seen it, it's how they drive. The cold hard facts. My question is... WHY!?! Anybody know why? They don't care about anybody's life? r not considerate to other ppl? I thought it was funny that 1 prsn said they look like us.

I'VE been to Chile and Argentina and they drive in an orderly chaos. Buenos Aires was wild. The cab driver said the lines on the road were just for decoration. Like New York they honk the horn a lot, but in Buenos Aries it's all the time. They cut each other off all the time, but don't get mad. Hong Kong was more crowded, but they drove much better.

It is all in what you perceive. If a Caucasian person cuts you off and then a Hispanic person cuts u off - which one will you remember?

In my case, if I cut you off, you would see a Caucasian person doing so, but you would be wrong, because I am German and Mexican but do not look of Hispanic Heritage.
So, it is in the eye and mind of the beholder as to which person's bad driving you will commit to memory.

Men generally remember when a woman driver does something wrong or nasty and then use the 'all women are bad drivers' blah...
The real problem is that in general, people do not take driving seriously enough. If you drive like an idiot, then someone else will probably get hurt.

You are a racist and a bigot..just because you are hispanic does not mean you can't be racist against hispanic people. When you stereotype one group of people based on the actions of a few...that is the DEFINITION of racist. You can report this one too!

Personally I think anybody can be a bad driver but alot of old people need to give it up and hand in their D.L.'s if you know what I mean?
