in no way am i trying to be rude here, but me and my friend were noticing that we see asian families drive with the husband driving, while the wife sits in the backseat with either the front seat empty, or occupied by a child. why is this?
again, me and my friend were just curious, we've only seen asian families do this, is there a reason for this?

Not in my family. I drive, wife sits up front to give directions. Back seat driver up front so to speak. Quick backhand usually stops that shit, though. Hey, that's probably why. Can't get bitch slapped if you're sitting back there. You just get it after the trip, LOL.

I have a friend who was raised in a very traditional Chinese family, and every time he gives me a ride he'd tell his girlfriend to get in the back seat.
I always assumed it was because I have pretty long legs, but I hitched a ride with him and his mom once and he told his mom to get in the back seat also.
What do you mean by asian exactly? It's such a broad and overused term.
I am Chinese and I have a really big extended family/family friends/chinese friends here and I've never once seen or heard of a Chinese husband asking his wife/mother get into the back seat lol.
I would expect my gf to get in the back if I was picking up a friend and the 3 of us where going somewhere so he could sit in the front. Same situation but it is my mom then obviously the friend would sit in the back.
I have seen a lot of Chinese males driving while the passenger seat is empty and a wife or grandmother will sit in the back.

Same.
I'm chinese here, and my family isn't super traditional.
But some of my extended family is...
And i've never seen or heard of this practice before.
I've never heard or seen that before either. Unless there was a reason, like the kid just wanted to ride shotty or taking care of a baby in the backseat. Or just needs the wife to hold a very delicate ice statue.
They do this so that if there's a head on collision, there is a better chance that one parent will survive to look after the child.
The same goes with lots of families I know who fly out on different flights -- increasing odds that more of the family will survive in case of an air crash.

while that makes sense, I'm not entirely sure that's the reason. At least, I don't think that was something my parents had in mind when I was little.

It's very common with multi-billionaires, even if it means flying two separate private jets.
