Perception can be deceiving. In this case, I would go where the money is. The worst drivers hands down are males age 16-25. How do I know this? Just look at insurance rates. I would have expected newly arrived female immigrants to be the worst based on "popular stereotypes" but no, it's young males, no contest.

I agree with Leto that the higher visibility of Asians make it seem like they are the worst drivers when I would also bet that everyday mishaps are spread out over a wider demographic. Interstingly enough, all the car crashes I see on tv or car chases, never involve Asians.

I live in Los Angeles, a heavy Latino and Asian population base. By my observation, it s cell phone users and Latino that are the worst drivers.

Go figure.

I would also say NASCAR drivers are also pretty bad, always going in circles at ridiculuosly fast speeds, tailgating, and flipping over occasionally. So, white males are the worst drivers then?

Ain't perception a bitch.
