What do Asians see when they drive in traffic?

Seriously, I know that for a lot of you out there your first and only instinct will be to pass this question off as some sort off racist comment, but that is the furthest thing from my intent. I live in the San Francisco bay area and travel the various freeways to and from work Monday through Friday. I see these individuals "Locked and Fixed" at the wheel, classic "10 and 2" formation, seemingly unable or willing to divert their forward attention even in an effort to change lanes. They seem to prefer and overly abundant amount of spacing between themselves and the vehicles ahead of them (2-3x the standard one car length 10 M.P.H.). I've ask fellow motorist if they'd notice this or any similar behaviour, and they all agree. it seems that the blowing of horns, hand gestures and screaming obscenities from open windows are in vain, as these types of accurances, to these individuals have become so commonplace as to have lost all effect.

What do Asians see when they drive in traffic?
Most Asians by cultural conditioning are very focused on the "job" at hand. As many Asians are not automobile oriented i.e. most Asians in Asian countries ride public transportation, walk or most often bicycle everywhere so cars (driving themselves) is not something they do like "us" Americans. We start driving at 16 and it's full speed ahead from there on. Many Asians are not raised as automobile drivers so when they do learn they are very, very, cautious and it takes them a while to learn our skills such as road rage, rudeness, carelessness, and offensiveness that we Americans take for granted.
