L.A. Can't Drive

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

It’s not unusual to see a dick and a moron on the road at the same time, but it’s not very often that we get the opportunity to snap a photo of them together.  Aww….talk about a marriage that will never work.  We were on the 101 Fwy North right when you reach the Ventura Blvd exit.  The rightmost lane becomes an “exit only” lane, and believe me when I say that there is plenty of time to switch over to your left if you don’t want to exit, not to mention the presence of multiple signs and fat dotted line markings indicating that the lane is about to exit.  What does the ignoramus in the darker sedan do in the absolute last minute?  When the lane markings have already changed to a solid white line, this inattentive driver yanks on his/her steering wheel to the left to avoid exiting, crosses the solid white line without signaling, and nearly hits the silver sedan (also in the photo) in the process.  For those who browse this site for educational purposes, you’re not allowed to cross solid white lines.  That’s as basic as breathing air for me, but you never know with the people in this town.  Most just don’t give a rat’s furry ass, though my inkling tells me that this person was just a clueless moron who also doesn’t happen to check his/her mirrors or blind spots while changing lanes.

Now, as pissed as you or I would be if someone did this in front of us, why make matters worse?  Personally, I would try to steer clear from such a clueless driver.  In San Francisco, if you see a raving lunatic on the sidewalk, what do you do?  Keep your distance, right?  Along the lines of my post a few days ago regarding the comparisons between New York and Los Angeles, the jackass in the silver sedan did not just honk and let the matter go.  Rather, this road rager proceeds to tailgate the idiot like no tomorrow for a good half a mile.   Now honestly, what’s the point of that?  If you end up rear-ending this idiot, who could just brake for no logical reason whatsoever, you’d still be at fault, not to mention the injuries you and the other party will incur.  Seriously, people, just let it go….especially on the freeway.  If you have someone in the car with you, just have them snap a photo and write about it to this site.  We promise to post your story and let Karma do the work.
