Blind and Careless

Idiocy Meter Asshole Meter This old fart somehow had a difficult time staying in his own lane while crossing any intersection that isn’t perfectly straight. Such an intersection exists at Olympic and Beverly. We were all sitting at a red light. When it [...]

Reckless Road Rager Seeks to Harm

Idiocy Meter Asshole Meter Full marks for my 100th post. Like it or not, lane-splitting for motorcyclists is legal in California. Acceptable forms of venting one’s frustrations against an aggressive lane-splitter includes cursing under one’s breath, rolling one’s eyes, postponing one’s judgment and letting [...]

Veteran L.A. Driver Merges onto Freeway without Working Brake Lights

Idiocy Meter Asshole Meter It’s about time that we Angelenos take some responsibility for the bad driving in L.A., rather than attributing bad driving habits, traffic congestion, road rage, etc. to all the other domestic and international immigrants to our county. This old Toyota Corolla’s [...]

Mannequin behind the Wheel

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

This is a rare case of high idiocy and asshole ratings when the driver didn’t actually put anyone in danger (yet). Rather, this driver exhibited some qualities that plague many Los Angelenos: selfishness, self-entitlement, and self-import. Hmm, was that a [...]

Blonde vs. Brunette = Tie in Stupidity

Idiocy Meter Asshole Meter I’m starting to realize how Little Santa Monica is really starting to become a serious hazard area for car accidents. You could be doing everything right, driving along smoothly with traffic, paying full attention to the road, when an over-privileged [...]

Well, at Least this Senile Senior Isn’t Driving a Car

Idiocy Meter Asshole Meter Full marks for idiocy for this geriatric! Seriously, I saw this guy strolling down Wilshire last fall before I started this blog. And as bad as this sounds, I can’t believe he’s still alive after pulling stunts like this on [...]

New York City vs. Los Angeles

Idiocy Meter Asshole Meter Hey all, so I haven’t posted in awhile since I was in New York for a bit. Guess what I found there? Believe it or not, New York City (and I do specifically mean Manhattan) drivers are actually better than [...]
