Why are Camry drivers so retarded and can't drive?

[cardart]

Anyone else notice this? I hate them! Get off the street!

They drive 30mph on the highway.

Merge into freeway at 30 mph

Drive 60 mph in freeway fast lane on the left.

Change lanes w/o looking at blind spots. No signals.

Cut people off.

Can't park.

Stop on the right side of the red light intersection so people in the back can't right turn.

Drive in reverse in freeway when they missed the exit. (I've seen this personally!)

The list goes on..........

Please share your experience with Camry drivers here

I did a little googling and apparently some people agrees with me:

that's my mother you're talking about!

 

[Pocatello]

Many of them are Asians. Take my mom, for example, the nicest and sweetest person on the planet, but behind the wheel, she's a menace.

 

[kstu]

[nick1985]

Yeah, around me most camry drivers are asians/indians and they cant drive.

Around me the asians go apeshit for camry's

Mexicans go apeshit for pitbulls.

Funny world we live in

 

[ahenkel]

Dammit I've been doing it wrong. Someone needs to send me the official Camry drivers rule book.

 

[MotF Bane]

Generally, this applies to most Toyota drivers, and all Prius drivers.

 

[eldorado99]

You can really say this about any car thats incredibly common on the road. It is just that there's 20 billion of them, lots of them are bound to have bad drivers in them.

 

[zoiks]

Most of them are driven by asian imports.

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Most people drive Camrys or similar. Most people are bad drivers. Most people know this.

No, you really cant. Indians and asians flock to these vehicles en masse. Indians and asians (Indians are techincally asians, I know) are fucking awful drivers. Not hard to put 2 and 2 together.

Asians/Indians drive the Camry in a higher percentage than other vehicles. Asians/Indians are beyond terrible drivers. Most people know this.

I drive a Camry as a beater/dd and I can do 70 on the freeway and this makes everyone else want to go 71. If I go 90 they go 91. In my experience Camrys are percieved as slow and weak and are thus asshole magnets drawing out all the alpha male machismo douchebags that are in hiding when I have the Cobra.

I can pull out from a complete stop at a stop sign with some dude a 1/4 mile back going 55 with plenty of time and space. As soon as I pull out he must step on it trying to block me or prove something because by the time I get to 55+ with still more than a block between us he's going 90 and barreling down my ass wanting to get around me for no reason. Dudes in big trucks with tiny balls seem to the be the worst offenders, or younger drivers in any kind of shiny car with HIDs who think they are better than everyone else. Likewise when I'm 100 feet from the stop sign others will see me, hesitate for a second as they size up my car, then just barrel through the stop sign without stopping to make sure they are in front... again this doesn't happen often when I'm in the Cobra.

I have more people stomping the gas to pass me and swerve into my lane 2" from my front bumper when I'm doing 75 in the right lane in the Camry than I do in my Cobra at 55 in the left lane.

Perception. Peoples attitudes driving on the street are entirely affected by what kind of car you are driving. People will act docile and humble if they are outdone, but will be mean and aggressive if they think their car is better than yours.

PS I don't do any of the above. In fact I consider myself the ideal driver and the world would be a better place if everyone drove like I do. My actions are determined solely based on how I will inconvinence other drivers, things like coasting completely and QUICKLY into the turn lane before my brake lights come on so the person behind me doesn't have to change anything, pulling over to the left or right in my lane if I'm that 10th car from the intersection just barely blocking the left/right turn lanes, etc. If I'm impatient with someone in front of me, it's because they are causing people behind me to get pissed off which in turn pisses me off. Whether I hit my brakes to make a last minute turn, or drive past and turn around is entirely determined by what's in my rear view mirror at the moment. I drive in such a way as to be invisible to other drivers.

Americans go apeshit for burger king. And guns.

Well I can't speak for all of the other camry drivers out there, but I know the biggest reason why I can't drive has nothing to with the fact I have a camry. I can't drive because I'm a woman.

 

[bruceb]

It applies to most Toyota drivers. Some idiot female this am, in an old Toyota would not move over or speed up so traffic could get around and we could not pass on right, as other car was not going fast enough. So in effect, moving road blocks.

It's their culture. People in Asia with cars are in a higher class, and exerting even the slightest bit of energy out of concern for others around you (most of whom are below your position in society) is considered a foolish waste of time. They bring the attitude over here, and pass the carelessness onto their children.

I haven't noticed this problem with Japanese.

This. :thumbsup:

 

[ConwayJim]

what about the kids that drive civics with their coffee can mufflers thinking they're driving in the Indy. Lets face it, everybody is a shitty driver except for you

 

[tooriski]

I seen bad drivers in many cars not just camery, I don't own one and never will (hate them). It's all about the driver.

 

[JCH13]

Haven't you ever noticed how anyone who drives faster than you is stupid, and anyone who drives slower is an idiot?

My experience is that many Asian immigrants had never driven a car before they came to the U.S, and just learned how to drive recently. Most of us take for granted that we have the basic knowledge of driving and the rules of the road before we even learn how to drive. Many Asian countries have very congested traffics, and people there make up their own rules on how to drive. One of the most terrify experience a person can have is riding on a moped in the street of Saigon (for a tourist), crossing the street is also not recommended.

 

[exdeath]

Due to my experiences with my own Camry, I will strike down with furious vengence in my Cobra anyone I see picking on or antagonizing a helpless Camry that isn't driving like a dimwit, especially a gen 3 (92-96). I love pulling up next to some punk ass kid in his black lowered Acura with chrome rims and HIDs and temp tags bumping his Walmart sub and backwards cap showing off to someone in a beater, especially if the beater is a Camry.

 

[punjabiplaya]

Why are drivers of <car other than mine> such idiots and can't drive?
