Unclear and Present Danger
Idiocy Meter
Asshole Meter
I’ve seen this Toyota pickup on this commute a few times before, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that this guy’s head never looks anywhere else other than directly in front. The positives for this guy was that he was driving at the appropriate pace given the precarious cargo he was carrying. Secondly, everything looked pretty well strapped in today (which isn’t always the case). Anyway, here we are passing the 6th St. entrance of LACMA when the pickup, which was traveling in the #1 lane, slowly veered into the #2 lane without signaling, nearly hitting the gray sedan that was occupying that lane directly to the right of us. The warning honk that came from the other driver didn’t even deter this guys trajectory one bit. If the other driver didn’t immediately hit her brakes, the front left end of her car would have been clipped by this dilapidated Toyota pickup truck. As I passed this guy soon after I took this photo, he looked completely unfazed–as always–staring resolutely ahead without a care in the world. I don’t think he’s ever checked a blind spot in his life, and the rear and side view mirrors on his vehicle are 100% decorative. Now should a guy like this really be in the business of moving tons of cargo on a regular basis?
