NYTimes紙、韓国人が運転する車には気を付けろ〜! 運転荒過ぎるとLAのラジオ・コリア!
LAのコリアン系社会で有名なラジオ司会者ソン・アン・ジョー氏(通称:運転博士)によると、もう1つの常識がある。それは「コリアン系は運転が下手」。
彼自身もコリアン系で、ビジャ自動車学校の所有者でもある。
コリアンの車には気を付けろ〜運転荒過ぎるとLAラジオ・コリア
死角を確認しない、歩行者がいても徐行しない、対向車の切れ目に余裕がなくても平気で左折する、方向指示器を出さない、一時停止も無視。
とにかくコリアン系ドライバーの運転はひどいというのが、ジョー氏の意見だ。ニューヨーク・タイムズ

There is another truism, says Seong Un Joe, a radio celebrity and one of the best-known men in Koreatown
who is known to his audience by a Korean name that translates loosely as Dr. Driving.
"Koreans cannot drive, that is fair to say," says the doctor, a Korean-American who is 44 and the proprietor
of the Vija Driving and Traffic School. "They are wild. They don't stay in the rules and don't bother to know the proper etiquette."
Koreatown, a congested neighborhood in central Los Angeles, perennially ranks high on the police list of the most dangerous areas
for traffic collisions and deaths in the city.
Among other pet peeves he has about his countrymen are these: They do not check their blind spots. They do not yield for pedestrians.
They guess on a left turn instead of waiting for a clear intersection. They do not use their turn signals. They make rolling stops. They do not study their traffic law books
