Don't know how to drive: those "foreigners" / from other countries

I'd also have assumed she was referring to Americans. I now live in an area that gets tourists during the summer due to the beach, although living in the city (well actually on the west side) means a lot less of it than living in a beach city. But you can tell when the tourists show up, and they can be referred to as tourons. Now not all tourists are tourons. The ones that are tourons are the ones that forget how to drive, leave all common sense at home, ect.

Heh, I just used the term touron on Friday...dealing with all the brainless tourists heading our way for the weekend. I grew up in a super touristy area and really came to detest anyone with out-of-state plates by late July. It always seemed like over half of the tourists assumed that driving laws didn't exist in vacation-land...and the cyclists were often worse. Riding 3-4 abreast (2 is the law in WI), ignoring stops, riding on the wrong side of the road, etc.
