Road-Raging Blonde in VW Golf
Idiocy Meter
Asshole Meter
Wow, this lady was a total bitch–angry-looking blond with a perm in her 40s, sallow cheeks, and dumb eyes in a Volkswagen Golf. Would you classify the Golf as an SUV or a CUV? Anyway, this photo was taken on the same night as yesterday’s post. And guess what road we were on? That’s right, Crescent Heights. We were driving south this time on Crescent and found this beast of a woman sucking on our tailpipe because we weren’t tailgating the car that was in front of us. We saw her weaving several times in her lane, as if she was trying to find a safe moment to pass; naturally, parked cars to her right and a double yellow centerline to her left prevented any of these attempts. When we stopped for a red light at Willoughby, this road-raging bitch made it a point to yank her car violently into the right lane (no parked cars near the intersection), slow down, and star at us while clearly mouthing epithets to herself. I looked back at her with a sort of “are you kidding me?” expression on my face, while my wife’s expression was sort of reminiscent of what you would see on passerby staring at a deeply troubled homeless guy ranting to himself. With pretense completely out the window, this lady somehow felt that we would try to prevent her from leapfrogging when the light turned green. So guess what this moron did? She started creeping at the red light until her car was completely in the intersection before the light turned green. Ever seen a car run a red light at 1/4 mph? We just did…two nights ago. Naturally, she gunned it when the light turned green and cut in front (no signal), which of course did nothing for her since she just ended up driving behind the car that was previously in front of us. As we made a right turn onto Melrose at a subsequent red light, I casually rolled down my window, waved, and gave her a thumbs up. What a way to represent L.A. drivers, blondes, and sexually frustrated middle-aged women all at once. Way to go, moron.

The types of crimes associated with terrible driving are immense: vehicular manslaughter, assault, etc. It’s just a terrible idea to let your emotions get the better of you while behind the wheel.
The Golf is neither a CUV or an SUV. It’s a hatchback designed long before either term was invented. In fact, to insult such a magnificent line of cars by comparing them to such atrocities as the Flex or Exploder is an outrage! Also, I love that someone else applauds crap driving in this city.
Thanks for the clarification!
It’s a shame that nobody wants a station wagon. I love mine. 2009 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. Yes, it’s a diesel. It’s the 2009 green car of the year, 48mpg, without looking like a dork, haha!
good move with the thumbs up. people need to understand driving like an asshole really doesn’t get you anywhere.
