Do YOU Stereotype People?

Asians ARE bad drivers, jus sayin'
This is why we should have special reserved parking spaces, a tag with a big A on it. Also something like a carpool lane would increase safety for everyone, as it is we pack a ton of people in a van going to the restaurant every day.

Women are usually on my B-list of stereotypical bad drivers, particulary all black women, and young college aged white women.
Misery, you missed a subgroup: Old women. This moring I saw an old woman make the ugliest left turn ever. Then going down the road she kept drifting into the lane to her right. Scary.
I'm a very good driver myself. Have never been in an accident, I don't cut folks off or tailgate, and the last time I got a traffic ticket was over 25 years ago.

I think we sterotype because it has been parallel with some experience we have had in our lives.

The amount of stereotyping that already gone on here (in this thread) is hilarious.

So you are saying "stereotypers" is a sterotype that is being demonstrated on this thread?

That appears to be very much the case, no?

Yes, that IS a whopper of a stereotype. I do bloody well resent it!

Sometimes the stereotypes have some truth in their roots. I used to hear the jokes about Asian drivers but I never understood why they were singled out. Then several years ago I went to Taiwan for two weeks to visit my wifes family. What a nightmare it was trying to drive over there.
1. Auto insurance is a rarity.
2. There is no such thing as lane intergrity on the roads. You can be sitting at a red light on an 8 lane street (4 each way) and when the light turns green, someone in the far right lane will make a left hand turn across the 3 other lanes. People just honk and go on.
3. Red light, what red light? One night my father-in-law was taking me on a cruise through downtown Taipei and when he would approach intersections that were controlled by a signal light, he would slow down on red lights and if there was no one coming, he would drive right through it.
