I'm with you on the fashion bit but I'm a recent immigrant (to Australia, as it happens) and the driving culture here feels a lot saner than where I'm from. Being asked for bribes, ignoring pedestrian lights and crosswalks, queuing across and blocking intersections, etc.

Is that a controversial observation?

No, that's not controversial. The controversial thought chain is: she looks foreign, therefore she is foreign, therefore she learned the bad foreign driving culture, therefore she ran from the accident. It may well be true! But those are assumptions posted only because of the photo / her name. If it was my photo, we wouldn't end up with this thread.
