Tourist drivers seen as hazards in NZ

I had a close encounter with a Chinese gentleman in New Zealand over Spring Festival, although I didn't initially know he was Chinese.

I was driving a steep, twisting road above Lake Hawea in Central Otago - a stunningly beautiful area and one I know well. My speed was just under the limit to allow for the challenging road and possible hazards.

Judging by the anecdotes of friends and stories in local media, the most frequent hazards on New Zealand's roads these days are tourist drivers. During Lunar New Year, many of those were Chinese.
