   /r/bayarea: ‘Bay Area drivers are terrible’

   ‘It’s all the H-1Bs’

   I’ll have you know that bad drivers here come from all backgrounds. Ask any pedestrian.

     @vfrmedia so many people are so allergic to being lumped in to a group with one white person doing something badly, but have no qualms lumping everybody else together

     @skinnylatte we have the same prejudice here in England - where there are now a lot of social care workers from Commonwealth countries driving to/from work, many of whom tend to use "P" plates as they are new to the country (even though they are not yet required here, I try to tell them "don't put these things on your car, you paint a target on your arse doing so").

     I was in Mid Essex yesterday for another job (one of the whitest areas of the region) and there was way more bad driving..
