Chinese Showdown

It is the phenomenon of four cars, almost always driven by Chinese women or old men, coming to a confusing stop at an all way stop sign at the same time. Each driver, engulfed in terror, will tentatively drive forward at the same time until they see the other three drivers do the same. At this point all four drivers simultaneously slam on their brakes. This act will be repeated several times until all four cars are wedged together in the middle of the intersection.
