L.A. Can't Drive

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

I don’t know if any of you remember a post I made a few months ago of a dumb-looking, silicon-enhanced driver rolling around Beverly Hills with a Yorkshire Terrier leaning out her driver’s side window.  Well, clearly idiocy of this degree isn’t reserved for “dumb blondes” with runty Pomeranians and “trophy wives”.  This dude was cruising along Ventura in Sherman Oaks in his black Range Rover with two pugs sticking out the window.  From afar, we saw this guy drifting in and out of lanes without signaling; upon closer inspection, it’s clear that he relegated signaling duties to his dogs.  In fact, these dogs were also in charge of checking his driver’s side blind spot and sideview mirror.  The lighter pug was all over that mirror like white on rice, let me tell you.  But hey, you never know, these dogs might be geniuses and, unlike their caretaker, are highly aware of the dangers associated with driving.  They definitely seemed to be more alert than their owner, who probably possesses a level of intelligence comparable to any average canine.  Hmm, I wonder what would happen if a kid suddenly ran out into the middle of the street right in front of his vehicle.  Would this guy’s first instinct be to veer out of the way or save his dogs from flying out the window?  This is what “Southern Cali laid back” is all about people….ignorance, idiocy, and negligent nonchalance.
