  To be honest this is true. I can’t count the number of frum drivers who passed me on the 52 rushing to the woodburne minyan. And I am not a slow driver.

• Out of Hand

  Why is it newsworthy every time some loser writes this type of nonsense?

• Angry

  I’m not sure it’s anti semitic. Look how many accidents there’s been this summer.

• Richard Roe

  It’s not anti-Semitic if it’s true, as sadly it is…

• Not so off

  Whether that’s written because of anti-Semitism or not is questionable. But that there are many crazy chassidishe drivers is for certain. Many, though mostly not from CH, are not very nice drivers, to say the least.

• Seen it

  Sad, but true

• anti-Semitic or true?

  There may be exceptions, but on the whole, yes, it’s true.

• Careful Driver

  How is this anti-Semitic? They are horrible and dangerous drivers and I for one am extra vigilant around them. They have no regard for the rule of law as it pertains to traffic laws and general safety. This is a smart and practical message.

• true

  i say the same thing

  they are crazy

• Larry

  Why is it anti-somatic they drive like ———-

• why is this anti semitic

  there are many times this is likely true

  if it’s true then it’s time people shape up!

  every time a bachur gets caught speeding he calls it anti semitic… It’s almost comical.

• gghost60

  that comment was not an anti-semantic comment. thaey are not the safest drivers. some of these do not belong on the road.

• Anonymous

  I’ve often had the same sentiments.

• Why do people run upstate?!?!?!

  Sad but true they are the craziest and most unsafe Driver and I am Lubavitch

• bad experience

  maybe they had a few bad experience with hassidic drivers. I don’t particularly see that as anti Semitic, it could be but it just may have been his personal experience.

• bad experience

  wait i didn’t read where it took place. it IS most likely anti Semitic. they are notorious up there

• Picaboo Shimon

  Why is this message anti semitic?

• Lubavitcher from ch in monticello

  I don’t agree with graffiti on Garbage cans but it’s a very valid point. It’s a chilul Hashemi how many drive and behave Upstate. I know there is plenty of anti semitism Upstate but we have to start acting like mentchen and stop feeding it and then taking something like this and screaming anti semitism.

• John

  Is it anti-Semitic if it’s true?

• Deadly - probably not....

  Impolite and Aggressive – definitely yes unfortunately.

• fellow jew

  cant say that message is wrong!

• Reality

  Its not anti semetic, its TRUE! stop driving like animals

• excher

  So it’s anti semitic to drive safely?

• Fools

  If the message has simply stated “NYC Drivers are deadly….” then it would be true.

  The stigma of “Jews in Minivans” is exactly the same as “Hook nosed Jews” and “Money Grubbing Jews” and that is absolutely stereotypical anti-Semitisim.

  What? An entire ethnic group are bad drivers? Are all Minivan in the universe bad drivers?

  Cut it out! Call a spade a spade, and the upstate hick that wrote that hate drivel is an anti-Semite.

  • Yes

    The upstate hick may well be an anti-Semite but you are the fool if you don’t recognize the fact the chassidic jews in minivans drive like wild animals on those upstate roads.

  • you're half correct

    had the graffiti only said hasidic drivers a crazy, that would have been true. but the addition “in minivans” reveals that the artists intent was hateful.

• gghost60

  they drive like kamakaze pilots. they don’t know what turn signals are for.

• Nauseating

  OH because the rednecks who live up there year round are sooo safe,, right?? It is a sad day for Jews the world over, when we have so much self hatred..
