L.A. Can’t Drive

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

It’s no surprise to the better drivers in this town that people with road rage lose all semblance of logic and common sense.  Imagine a city full of commuters suffering from temporary insanity, which is essentially what I witnessed both this morning and this evening on the freeways.  People cutting each other off, people using freeway interchanges as passing lanes, people ignoring lane markings and jumping over both painted and real concrete medians (I saw this by the 110 and the 5 Fwys), people lane-blocking merging traffic at on-ramps, pointless weaving, California Cutting, vicious tailgating, and naturally no signaling….OK, let me catch my breath….We took the picture of this raging asshole this morning near the 134 and 101 interchange.  I saw this impatient fu*knut weaving in and out of cars behind us going westbound on the 134 before cutting in front.  Do you see how close he is to the car in front of him?  Mind you, we’re going between 65 and 70 mph at this point.  He then tries to pass the sedan on several attempts by switching back and forth between the #2 and #3 lanes, to no avail of course since everyone is pretty much traveling at the same speed.  Eventually, the #3 lane merges into the #2 lane at the 101 interchange.  This jackass was simultaneously bumper humping the car in front while trying to lane-block merging traffic to his right.  Guess what ensued?  If this tool didn’t have the instinct to slam on his brakes, we would’ve witnessed a 4-car pile-up at the absolute worst place possible on this stretch of the freeway.  Seriously, dude, calm the frack down.  In the end, he got off at the first exit (Laurel Canyon) after the interchange, tailgating the entire way of course.  The only redeeming factor for this commuter was that he was at least signaling the entire time.  Oh, and at least he had working taillights.
