Comments on: Minor Rear-Ender Closes 2 Lanes on Wilshire–WTF? http://www.lacantdrive.com/2008/10/13/minor-rear-ender-closes-2-lanes-on-wilshire-wtf/ Los Angeles drivers can't drive. Plain and simple. Basic traffic laws and driving etiquette clearly do not apply in a town where the people seem to operate in their own little bubble, completely unaware or dismissive of others on the road. Call it what you will: self-entitlement, negligence, malaise, ignorance. My goal? To have mandatory driving tests randomly issued where drivers are eligible for selection after 6 years. Consider this jury duty for the road.

If the police theoretically have nothing to do, post them at corners of every busy intersection and start citing these offenders. I mean, seriously...the driver's in Beverly Hills are nearly as bad as those in K-town. Kendall, the irony is this: there are SO many bad drivers in L.A.

I chalked it up to them not having much to do 90% of the time, & the fact BH officers are paid much, much more than other LA cities --so every little incident gets overblown.

With all that "drama", I would think that would be the case. Everything gets sensationalized here in SoCal. Unless there was a woman giving birth in one of those yuppy vehicles, there is NO EXCUSE for closing that much of Wilshire Blvd. I think the hands free law is idiotic, since I see it all day, every day. It's only illegal if you get caught! Are you sure they weren’t filming a movie or something? With all that “drama”, I would think that would be the case.
