true anyone is a bad driver if they're drunk. to be honest, i never met this guy, but i do know that he barely spoke english, had no clue how to drive, had no license, blew a stop sign and killed my friend. call it whatever, but it seems to me that a US native with a license who knew the basics of driving might have actually stopped at the stop sign.

having lived overseas on several occasions, I am quite convinced that AMERICANS are the absolute worst, rudest, and most distracted drivers on the planet.......hands down.

I'd much rather drive in a city full of Mexicans, Italians, or Japanese citizens than in a town full of Americans......(and I'm born and raised American)

Once again, I don't think nationality, citizenship, cree, color, or what have you, have Anything to do with wether you're a good driver, person or not. A d!ckhole is a d!ckhole and an a'ss is an a'ss no matter how you put it. (Feel free to quote that . It was an AMerican with an American License that blew through a Solid RED light and SMASHED my last Maxima. Thank God my lil brother and I came out unhurt. The end result would have been the same had it been a Mexican, Japanese, Russian, African, etc, etc.

what seems to give you that idea? Here in california we have United States Citizens with liscences that either don't stop for a red light, stop sign, pedestrians, and cause many fatalities.Heck we even have a term named after us "california stop", which was coined for drivers (American citizens with liscences included) who failed to stop or stop long enough at posted signs. I would like to see statistics to back up your statement. sounds like u are just bitter, which can be understood, but keep it to yourself

This reminds me of the car accident I was in when I was 18. I was driving about 85 MPH here in Vegas when this other car came and smacked the crap outta me. Both our cars rolled into this ditch which was filled with rain water. Somehow I made it outta the window and looked across and saw this hot chick crawling out of her window too. She comes up to me and tells me that it must be an act of God for us to survive something that horriffic and God must want us to be friends. I agreed with her totally. Both of our cars were demolished. She then said there was another miracle, a bottle of wine she was bringing home as Christmas present was unshattered even tho everything else in our cars were destroyed. She said we should drink to our good fortune. So I drank a good gulp and handed it to her. She put the top on it and threw it in my car. I was like......Hey wassup wit your toast....

She said "I'd rather wait for the police"

Why, she was trying to make it seem like you had been drinking or something at the time of the accident, right?
I wasn't trying to imply anything in a negative way.

That is pretty ugly sight to see. I would believe it, cuz no matter what car is made of, they are not incinvible to anything. That's what happens to ppl who are careless and don't think twice when driving behind the wheel and speeding does kill.

No drugs or alcohol was a part of this,... just a guy like you and i having fun in the maxima and lost control.

wow, ive never seen an onramp i thought i could take at 100mph, talk about misjudgment

It's an off ramp that turns into a street. It's a straight road too, one small hill from the off ramp into the road, then to a stop light,.. bout 1/2 mi. of road.
