After 3 months of research, I have decided to publish my findings... right here on the 'Information Superhighway' (I hope someone has punched Al Gore in the face for coining such a stupid phrase).

I decided to go public with the research the night I was hit by a car. See I was standing on the sidewalk, at the crosswalk, looking at the oncoming traffic to my left, when a car that was idling in the crosswalk and halfway on the sidewalk backed into me from the opposite direction I was looking. After I beat that car senseless and left the driver wondering if I was belligerently drunk(I was not at all), it dawned on me that the driver represented the 3rd type of drivers in the ROK. Here are the results of my research:

There are three types of drivers in South Korea.

Type RISK are drivers that do not follow the rules of the road, nor proper etiquette. They are largely represented by taxi drivers, but also include those who think it's better to be on the offensive(like my dad). A typical RISK driver will run red lights, cut off buses, and narrowly hit pedestrians.

Type FRET are drivers that worry about RISK drivers. They drive extra cautiously to a point where they also endanger lives like RISK drivers. I prefer to call these drivers sissies or nancies. They are the ones that will brake sporadically because they are going to fast(in their mind), but really they are being passed by and honked at by cars from all sides. Their characteristics often include obliviousness to signs, right-of-ways, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

Type DUMB are the by-products of one of these two drivers, it depends on personal history. These drivers are essentially deaf, dumb, and blind. They are the ones that stop in the middle of the street with a bus barreling down at them from behind. They are prone to driving habits like asking for directions at greenlights, driving on the sidewalk, and nearly all habits characteristic of both RISK and FRET drivers. DUMB drivers are probably the worst kind, and they have now made my shit list by busting me from behind in the knees.
