OK I can say this as I am an asian woman...

We have alot of asian drivers in OC. For some reason they are scared to death of us cyclist. They will not pass us. If we are standing off to the left of a right turn pocket, they still will not turn right. If we meet at a stop sign, they will not go first. I have had a driver stay behind me for little more than a mile. I finally stopped my bike in front of the car and walked over and explained nicely, that it was not necessary to stay behind the bike (assuming for some reason they believed they were required) and they are perfectly OK to pass. I think I scared the lady silly.

I sortof gave up. If someone doesn't know how to drive it's their problem. If it's annoying me, I just turn off or pull over nad let them by assuming, sadly they are clueless.
