Comments on: Local Hero Stops Hit-and-Run Perp in Dodge Ram http://www.lacantdrive.com/2008/10/21/local-hero-stops-hit-and-run-perp-in-dodge-ram/ 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.

Sierra Hwy and Golden Valley Road is like the Autobahn and never a cop in sight. Plus, the Hands-free thing is never enforced around her in the SCV. I see it all the time. I am sorry to hear about your friend's Mustang...truly a beautiful piece of automotive art (even with the damage!) I'm just glad that he or she was not in it at the time driving on the freeway when this jerkoff hit, because that could have been disasterous! I have a new Saturn Astra that I love with all my heart and he is so gorgeous. I'm so afraid of some idiot running into me, but at least "he" sleeps in the garage at night (with the 1970 Chevelle "she")...what do you think is going on in there??? :-) I’m surprised the Sheriff were acting on anything around there.

The far edge of it. He got on the 14 at Shadow Pines/Soledad and we stopped at Golden Valley. The total to fix the 'Stang is $10k Sorry Rikki, that is incorrect (in an Alex Trebek tone), I’m on the other side of the SCV. The far edge of it.

But when I passed a LASD unit on the shoulder 2 miles into the game, the tune changed, and man, did they come out in force, 5 units showed up after we stopped, that musta been the whole shift up here!!

Did they tell you to not follow the offender? I ask because LAPD dispatchers GO NUTS!!! if you follow a vehicle. They are so busy trying to DISCOURAGE a citizen from following a drunk driver let's say, that they actually DELAY your ability to get help. If any of you have this problem with LAPD just ask the dispatcher for the COMMUNICATIONS WATCH COMMANDER and get his or her name. How was LASD to work with?
