L.A. Can’t Drive

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Making stupid mistakes and forcing others to pay for them is a common occurrence on the streets of L.A. Case in point, the arrogant tool driving this van was driving south on Coldwater on my left. As you get deeper into Beverly Hills, you hit a fork in the road: For Beverly Dr., go right. For Rexford, go left. There are signs everywhere, and lane markings and arrows are clearly painted on the asphalt. When we reached this fork, this asshole was in the left lane to go to Rexford. All of a sudden, he started to make a wide right turn and muscled his way in front, threatening to ram my car and forcing me to brake to avoid the collision. Sure, we’ve all ended up in the “wrong” lane at one time or another, but only dicks act like they’re entitled to those mistakes. When he finished his turn, there was no courtesy wave or a thank you. Of course not, especially from a non-signaling, sign-illiterate malignant cyst. And maybe if he were signaling, I would’ve known that he entered the wrong lane by accident and could’ve allowed him to go in front without incident. But of course, signaling in L.A….wow, what a concept! What this guy did is not so different from those who obstruct an entire lane of traffic on the freeway because they decided to merge onto another freeway at an interchange at the absolute very last second. This used to happen all the time going on the 405 N to the 101 before construction helped alleviate this problem somewhat. Granted, most of the commuters doing that just didn’t want to wait their turn on line, but the cocksure nature of the maneuver is in the same vein as above.
