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.

A few months ago on Sunset near LaBrea there was a pickup truck 2 cars in front of me with a bunch of plywood boards in the bed. The door was down and no visible means of securing the boards visible. Of course Newton and his first law of motion (i.e. inertia) kicked in when the truck accelerated when the light turned green and a big plywood board slid out. Fortunately the person immediately behind was slow on the accelerator so no harm was done. But these yahoos had to pull over into the center lane and somehow find a way to retrieve their board which was by now being driven over repeatedly. Ha!
