Chinese coaches emerge in the US   

华人故事：日益发展的洛杉矶华人汽车教练群体

加州是全美华人最多的地区，据资料显示，整个加州的华裔人口大约有125万，而洛杉矶又是加州华裔人口最集中的地区，达到40万。在美国的生活离不开作为交通工具的汽车，地处美国西部的洛杉矶更是如此。不甚发达的公共交通，使汽车成为人们生活中不可或缺的环节。大量华人学车者，使华人汽车教练行业应运而生。

Los Angeles (CNS) -- About 1.25 million Chinese live in California -the largest of any Chinese subpopulations in a US state. These new Chinese residents need to abide by American rules of the road, thus a group of private Chinese driving coaches has emerged.

While statistics are incomplete, Chinese driving coaches are more common in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In Los Angeles alone, there are over 150.

Zhang said he hits the road as coach with three types of Chinese: overseas students, new immigrants and American born Chinese.

Driving rules in the US and China differ, which led to many experienced Chinese drivers failing the US exam for a driver's license. Zhang helps them adapt and get around.
