Lane-Splitting, Headlightless, Pasty-Faced VW Driver

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

In mid-December at around 5:15 p.m., you’d better be driving around with your headlights on.  Most people seem to get this, but it still boggles my mind how a disturbingly large percentage of drivers in L.A. don’t.  The number of headlightless cars [...]

This is our 500th vehicle-related post, give or take a few cars.  Thank you to everyone for all of your support and submissions.  Speaking of submissions, this is one I got from a reader in the Valley that was taken during our [...]

Illegally Crossing Double Yellow Lines

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Lane violations are insanely common in Los Angeles.  I’m not talking about the lack of signaling, although that’s exactly what the driver of this white BMW did.  This town is full of selfish drivers that do whatever they want at the expense [...]

Too Old to Drive–Right or Wrong?

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Not all senior citizens (or super senior citizens) are bad drivers.  But for many of them, the time has come for them to set down the keys for their own safety and the safety of others.  True, it’s not easy to live [...]

Merry Christmas, everyone!  Though the constant rain may put a damper on some of our spirits, we should be thankful for our empty streets as most people have left the city to celebrate the holidays in their hometowns.  With that said, I’ll [...]

Another Sucky Cadillac Driver

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

The driver of this brand new Cadillac clearly lacks the holiday spirit.  If anything, he was driving his new CUV (is that an SRX, people?) with reckless abandon, clearly taking advantage of the fact that he doesn’t have license plates on his [...]

Oblivious Airhead in Nissan Altima

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

This dumb blonde in what my wife swears is an older Nissan Maxima (since most of you know I’m not exactly the best carchaeologist) was driving along Pass Ave. in Burbank at 8:15 p.m. without any headlights on.  (Note: the car is [...]

Hatchback v. Sedan at Pico and Robertson

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Yes, folks this actually happened, and it was not part of a stunt show gone wrong, either.  This is a submission I got the other day:
“I took this picture at Pico and Robertson a couple weeks back.  Everyone lived and was [...]

Running a Red Light at 1/2 MPH

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

First and foremost, kudos to KFWB News 980 for reminding everyone that it’s the law to have their headlights on while their wipers are in operation during the rainy days this week.  Yes, a surprisingly large number of drivers in L.A. still [...]

Distracted Cell Phone User on Freeway

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

When you’re driving between 2 trucks on the freeway, each consisting of 40 tons of glass, metal, and plastic, it’s probably not a good idea to be texting away on your phone.  Here’s a submission I got the other day:
“I’m on the [...]
