After I read this topic I went for a 24.8 km ride today in a heavily populated area, so therefore statistically speaking sampling rate of near misses, cut offs, cut ups and generally inconsiderate driving was very high. Much more so than in unpopulated areas. I did this intentionally to verify if many posters to this topic are correct in your assumptions.
I had very many (more than ten) near misses today and in 100% percent of the occurrences the offending driver was Asian. So....you are correct!
Oh, I forgot to tell you. I live in Thailand.
