It is a phenomenon known as Driving While Oriental.

People simply don't give a shit.

Not gonna watch a 12-min vid......but I'll play devil's advocate and say they have more skills than the average country bumpkin who almost never encounters traffic. It's funny, all the stories you hear about little kids who drive their dad's tractor, like as if somehow that's gonna make them great drivers.

Your average country bumpkin has gravel skills, whereas your average Asian has glavel skrills.

Point: Bumpkin.

Mostly because rural people have more room for stuff like that........And also because they didn't need to spend $500-600K for a nice home.

My point was, a kid who drives a tractor might learn how to operate a vehicle.........But will he become a great street driver? It's two different things.

don't know 'bout you fancy city folk types, but we don't generally allow our children to drive cars without proper training. I do have a few friends who's 14 yr old boys drive race cars though.


oh and yeah those farms cost a lot more then 500K generally.
