L.A. Can't Drive

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

You know what?  I have yet to encounter a Toyota Matrix driver that hasn’t pissed me off.  I guess it’s a good thing that there aren’t too many of them on our roads.  Take this Asian lady in her mid-40’s (again, thanks for representing our people in such a positive light) in her silver Matrix with a vanity plate on Beverly Glen.  Given that I eventually saw her turn off onto a side street in the canyon that leads to a private community, I gather that she feels that she owns these thoroughfares and feels entitled to bumper hump any driver that’s moving too slow for her tastes.  She went through stints of yo-yo tailgating the car in front of her, while at other times she was literally sucking on the other driver’s exhaust, erratically tapping her brakes to avoid any collision.  Hey, how about backing the hell up to avoid a collision?  It’s pre-afternoon rush hour traffic, and everything is moving along nice, and you’re threatening to frack this all up by causing a rear-ender on the single northbound lane on Beverly Glen?  It’s not like there weren’t any other cars in front of this other driver, either.  Yeah…nice thinking, lady.
