One after Another – Ignoring Right Turn Only Lane
Idiocy Meter
Asshole Meter
Before we moved to our new home, there were times when I thought that maybe my perception of bad driving is Los Angeles is skewed because of how centrally located we were in the county. Truth be told, the area between Downtown L.A. and Beverly Hills is really the armpit of Southern California driving. The new perspective is both refreshing and disheartening. The drivers are no better in the Valley, people, which is ironic given the fact that the roads are significantly less crowded. The photo of this Ford Ranger pickup was taken in Glendale by Central, just off of the 134 E. Brand/Central off-ramp. This diarrhea head, and the BMW SUV in front of it, completely ignored a right-turn only lane at this intersection and muscled their way into through traffic with their fat asses without signaling. If you saw how these tools were driving, you just knew that this wasn’t a simple case of them ending up in the wrong lane by accident; rather, these arrogant foreskins felt the need to use the right turn only lane as a passing lane. Unfortunately, there’s no picture of the BMW SUV because it ran a red light shortly before this photo was taken. Regardless, if you ever find your way out this way, take a breather from all the bad driving by walking around the Americana at Brand. It’s pretty nice and makes The Grove look like someone’s backyard.

I believe that this is one instance in which speeding up or matching speed to prevent someone from merging is completely called for. Call it vigilante traffic law enforcement. Turn lane abuse has to be my biggest pet peeve in all of SoCal driving.
Senor, I admit that I have done the same. Unfortunately, such a maneuver often requires burning a lot of gas, and I’m in a phase now where I’m trying to squeeze every mile out of every gallon.
