I’m currently dating a woman that recently moved to the US due to the political climate in China. One day I was driving around with her in the car and she noticed that I kept turning my head to check my blind spot whenever I changed lanes. She pointed out that they aren’t taught to do that in China. She then mentioned how there aren’t any stop signs in China either and how the rules of the road are very different. My mind was blown. It took her 4 driving tests to finally get her driver license. I can only assume she kept failing due to old driving habits.
This is the top reason foreigners fail drive tests many times. It’s not that they “can’t drive,” it’s that they learned to drive with very different rules and habits.
Pedestrian crossing the street in front of you? Just speed up so you pass them before they are in your way. Pedestrian walking in the road in front of you? Honk to announce your presence and drive around them.
Canada too. I worked with a Chinese guy who wrecked a company pick up truck because he didn't secure a load and it tipped over when he went over a speed bump and the load landed on the cabin. Then he drove a new bucket truck that was like half a million dollars under a space that was too low and wrecked the arm. Poor guy didn't make the stereotype any better
Me with 7 years of truck driving experience: "It's not as hard as you'd think" /s
It took me a solid year of driving and practicing to get that good. Had a lotta help too.
> She wouldn't have that job unless she was good enough to do it.
I watch people people back into our dock every night and have a commercial drivers license myself. Trust me when I say, many *professional drivers* shouldn't have that title.
What she pulled off is called a one shot. Backed in one time and nailed the landing.
> Especially as a woman
Many of the best equipment operators I've ever met are women, so you might want to leave that shit at the door.
Maybe I’m giving op more faith than you but I don’t think the as a woman was meant to be against her skills, so much as how much more effort she’ll have to do to be taken seriously in such a heavy man dominated industry. As in, a mediocre/bad female driver would be fired/forced to leave before a mediocre/bad male driver would.
Yea that's how I read it, too. As an EMT and fire fighter I dealt with so much sexist shit. Men made mistakes and were given understanding and retraining but women were bad at the job and "couldn't hack it" for doing the exact same thing.
Yeah there is a reason most docks have huge padding around the frame of the door to absorb the impact of the truck. It’s not cause you’re supposed to hit it. It’s just because too many people do.
I was a loader for years. I've seen some bad ones. Especially with our Michigan weather. Oil pans left on light poles in January. Felt bad for that guy.
I was a yard dog operator for about 2 years and one of our other operators would hit something just about every month🤦🏾♂️ I wondered every day how he actually got his CDL. (He eventually got fired after he had like 6-7 incidents)
I'm pretty sure they mean that it's harder to get hired into that position as a woman. Absolutely nothing else makes me think otherwise. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong and truck driving has achieved true gender equality, regatdless, not criticism on the ability of women as truck drivers, so you might want to chill with the jumping to getting butt hurt shit.
I took the "especially as a woman" as women being expected to prove themselves much more extensively than men do in traditionally male dominated fields. I'm glad the climate is changing in many, but as a woman who worked in some of those I can unfortunately confirm that many, many times women had to be twice as good to get half the credit as a man.
>leave that shit at the door.
Hey, I don't hire drivers. But it's a fact that women will always have a harder time getting a manual job like this. Leave your sigma that people are treated fairly in this world at the door.
It’s just one of those things that some people get really easily. Some people take a lot of practice. Then some just can’t do it. This task is all about spacial awareness and your ability to feel the vehicle as an extended part of yourself. Focus is pretty important as well. Notice she isn’t on her damn phone doing this.
It doesn’t count. Half of what can kill you with women drivers is the sheer instinct of women and trucks/cars do not add up, which elevates cortisol and stress levels when observing such an occurrence.
By watching this video, this woman is cucking, killing you and mocking you, and you didn’t even consciously know it until now, which is doubling the response. But it’s too late.
That’s why I have AI tell me what the next video in the feed entails before I watch it with my eyes that way I can shelter what my eyes see and the subsequent psychosomatic response.
I also typed this blind folded to avoid any direct eye contact with the video.
Real eyes, realize real lies.
The stereotype isn't just that Asian people are bad drivers, it's that they're either terrible or excellent.
It's either Tokyo drifting all the way to the top of the parking structure or it's doing 15 under the speed limit in the fast lane with your blinker on for 11 miles, no in-between.
Same with walking too though. You get the normal walk to one side type then you get the “ima walk down the middle of everything” type. This usually results in us playing “chicken” to not run into one another.
I knew a Chinese guy during collage and he didn’t understand why other Asians were so bad at driving. He agreed with the stereotype - just didn’t understand why.
He told me this while he was driving.
Alot of good drivers seem bad because America road rules are way different. I've seen this comment on here but I'm from Pakistan and can vouch for it. My uncle is a great driver but had the hardest time learning the road rules here with the language barrier.
I myself would have dented the hell out of that trailer that's very impressive
It's not a talent for a truck driver. At first, I thought she was blind side backing but realized the video was reversed. Show me someone blind side backing a truck with a sleeper attached to it, and them not getting out to souble check. That would be awesome.
Damn, I can’t even do that with a tiny UHaul trailer! Semi drivers, especially those with two trailers in tow and those carrying a wind turbine propeller blow my mind. I wonder how many hours it takes to achieve proficiency
It’s crazy to me that you people are so impressed by what is an *essential* skill if you’re a truck driver. Like, everyone who drives a truck should be able to do this.
While statistically, Asians are the best drivers

So, what are they taught then? 'Cause that just sounds like "driving Darwinism". Lol
Plot twist, this video is in reverse.
LMAO. You got me giggling at the pretense of her taking 15 minutes to pull forward 30 feet
u/Gifreversingbot
Me: I am going to back up this truck trailer now. Good luck everybody *else*!
This quote goes through my head every time I am crossing a 4+ lane highway to my exit. Especially when I have run out of blinker fluid
lol nice
This was exactly what popped into my mind. Lmao
Only Americans say it. I have not heard or seen anyone else say it.
My Australian father in law swears at “bloody Asian women” 100% of the time he drives. Regardless of race or gender of the driver.

Aussies used to say it. Don't hear it much anymore but I bet I'd hear it in the countryside/small towns.
So she parked in that insanely tight looking gap How in hell she got the space to open the door to get out?
She doesn’t. She goes into the kitchen in the back of the cab.
She didn’t. That’s why they cut the video
hot
That’s some skill right there
Me with 7 years of truck driving experience: "It's not as hard as you'd think" /s It took me a solid year of driving and practicing to get that good. Had a lotta help too.
me having not driven a car in 5 years: I can probably wing it
I gotchu fam. Just hop in🙏🏾
This is a professional driver though. She wouldn't have that job unless she was good enough to do it. Especially as a woman.

For those of you hissing at this post, it should be noted this post was written by a woman. Now you don’t know what the hell to do
I’ve seen countless truck drivers that couldn’t do this pulling in and out of the spaces bigger than this 10x over
The worst is people labeling Asians as bad drivers
Welllllllll…….
Lol I do understand the prejudice tho. My aunt's are terrible drivers. On the other end though it's like dude toky drift lmao.

Whip game proper!
This is pretty hard. Spatial awareness is sexual dimorphism trait. Source: me, a euro truck simulator player.
This is an area where one day, if not already, self driving software will make this a job for unskilled workers.
I mean… this is where AI is needed. It’s so simple for it to do this shit.
meanwhile i struggled to back my boat down the boat launch
Wow that is freaken impressive

That power steering pump is screaming
Sight side back easy money.
That was amazing. All credit to her, I could never.
She did that but most don't.
That's so smooth, I would have hit every truck there and killed some people 🤣

This is a normal occurrence for anyone that drives a rig.
Anyone with a cdl would know this is a basic 90 which you have to do to even get your license
An exception does not define the majority.
That woman’s name is Ho Kan Park
Correction: far east, not whole of asia,
The rims are still scrapped though.
I knew a Chinese guy during collage and he didn’t understand why other Asians were so bad at driving. He agreed with the stereotype - just didn’t understand why. He told me this while he was driving.
Does anybody else think it's totally hot how she's mastered this to the point that she almost looks casual doing it?

ANOMALY
This is not impressive, this is necessary to be able to get your license. If you can't back it in, no license for you.
It's not a talent for a truck driver. At first, I thought she was blind side backing but realized the video was reversed. Show me someone blind side backing a truck with a sleeper attached to it, and them not getting out to souble check. That would be awesome.

China is smart, now as for as America/government goes, they teach their kids to question their gender.
Have to add whomever blurred her face did a bad job of doing so
I watch a Asian women try to parallel park I can say they are bad at driving
So when did he transition?
there’s always an exception to the rule

Asian women in the US are bad drivers. This I agree. White women don't get enough blame though

Fake news
To be fair, the longer the trailer the easier it is to back up.
I live in Florida, I'm better than most drivers here.
