Apparently Porsche Owners Can Ignore Right-of-Way
Idiocy Meter
Asshole Meter
Congrats to the Yankees for winning their 27th World Series Championship. With that said, I’m off to celebrate, but here’s a submission I got a few days ago:
“I took this photo while driving south on Robertson near Burton Way. As I was making my right onto Robertson from a side street one block north of Wilshire, this lady in the Porsche SUV cut me off as she made a left turn from the same street, but on the opposite side. I had the right of way, and there was absolutely no traffic, meaning she could have waited to make her turn and still made it to where she was going on time. To add insult to injury, she just had a smug “I can do whatever I want” entitled look on her face as she did it, which really irked me.”
Of course, in this town where people are obsessed with superficial social status, you find selfish, arrogant assholes like this lady driving a Porsche. I can’t be completely certain, but it seems like she’s driving the Porsche Cayenne base model, which is essentially the “cheapest” Porsche you can buy. Talk about trying to cut corners….hey, bitch, if you want to be self-obsessed, why not go all out and break the bank with the Panamera Turbo?

Ugh. I hate the Cayenne’s. Why can’t Porsche just stick to the small, fast sports cars?
Joe, I completely agree. Forget about the fact that it’s a way overpriced SUV, but you have these speed demons who’ve always wanted a Porsche taking turns and weaving in and out of lanes with it as if they were driving a Cayman.
What’s the big deal? So you had to wait another few seconds to make your turn. Stop your whining and pay attention to your driving.
Sounds like your are very jealous of someone having a nicer vehicle than you.
SK, what’s the big deal about not following traffic laws and regulations? You’re kidding, right? Of course, naturally, you immediately go the superficial route in your argument, which is quite typical of the clueless Angeleno who doesn’t care about anyone else but him/herself. And I think the Porsche who impatiently violated right-of-way has to pay more attention to her driving than the person submitting the incident. But nice job representing your sub-standard intelligence and lack of empathy.
I-95,
Keep-up the good work of photographing vehicles (as if that is a safe and responsible thing to do) while you deftly defy the LA traffic. You are making a huge difference in the overall improvement of our fine city. Keep up the good work, you must be proud of your acheivement.
Now put down your phone/camera, put your two hands on the steering wheel and keep your eyes on the road. We’ll all be safer.
I love how you talk about making the roads safer, yet in the same breath defend someone who’s literally breaking the law while classifying the anonymous reader who submitted the photo as someone simply fueled by materialistic jealousy. Snapping pics with a camera phone is a discussion that’s been beaten into the ground on this site and in interviews with other news agencies and talk shows, but you’re more than welcome to browse previous posts about what we do on this site and why it is legit. I will say that blindly snapping a photo takes a fraction of the time it takes to dial a number, which I might add is still legal–and you don’t even need to take your eyes off the road. Personally, I crop and rotate everything later to make it look nice and pretty
. So I would contend that the stubbornly unapologetic drivers who don’t have a clue about proper driving etiquette are the ones we need to worry about most on our roads. Needless to say, thanks for coming back and voicing your opinion…and I do mean that sincerely. I’m completely game for any discussion about safer driving, even if it means calling this site hypocritical.
