Frank, I hear you….this type of self-righteous ignorance is so prevalent in Southern California that it’s both embarrassing and pathetic. The sad thing is this driver probably didn’t even bother to check that her “turn around”, and the timing of that maneuver, was illegal–even if she just wanted to prove that she was right. People need to stop assuming the facts and do their research. There are too many lives at stake to not take driving seriously.

I feel your pain. I live in San Diego. It’s not just young people though. Here’s a ‘funny’ u-turn story for you. I’m on my motorcycle following (at a safe distance) behind a Mercedes SUV. We’re both going the speed limit. She pulls over. The road is wide enough for me to proceed now that she’s pulled off, so I do (I assume she’s parking). NO, she proceeds to pull back out almost hitting me, and ‘flips a bitch’ to accomplish a u-turn. Here’s where it gets interesting. SHE is obviously so offended, that she comes after me to tell me, “How dare you endanger MY life!”. We’ll we exchanged ‘pleasant’ words and I let her know that what she had just done was illegal. But she insisted that it was perfectly legal, “It’s called a turn around!” RIGHT?! So, I told her to “look it up, it is illegal!”. So, she closes with, “Next time you endanger my life, I’m taking you out!”. If she had been a man instead of a old woman, she would have found herself in the ER for those words. Just another case of another idiot who has no clue, but thinks they’re an authority on driving.

probably just a block up on hollywood, ready to make a DUI arrest on a weekend night.

Where are the cops when you need them?
