New California Booster Law in Effect on January 1, 2012
Idiocy Meter
Asshole Meter
There is a new California booster law going in effect on January 1, 2012, which states that children under 8 or children under 4 feet 9 inches in height (including children 8 or older) must be buckled into a booster seat in the back seat. Previously, the booster law stated that only children 6 and under or who weighed 60 pounds or less had to remain in a booster seat. Of course, this won’t matter a bit to oblivious parents like the moron I encountered last week who was driving around with his daughter who couldn’t have been older than 5 in the front seat. She was so short, the seat belt looked like it was wrapping around her chin. Let’s just hope law enforcement will be more alert regarding enforcing this new law unlike previous safety laws and regulations that have passed in the past.
Moving along, the above photo deals with two dicks in their twenties in a small SUV with vanity plates (starts with KCH). As always, you need to be extra mindful of drivers with vanity plates; the higher correlation between vanity plates and bad driving is unmistakable in this town. The post-Christmas morning rush hour roads were still empty, and traffic was moving along Burbank at around 45 MPH, 10 MPH above the posted speed limit. These impatient asswads still felt the need to flex the puny muscle in their pathetic mini gas-guzzler by riding the ass of any driver in front of them in both the #1 and #2 eastbound lanes. They never signaled as they zigzagged between cars, yet they really never made any headway as I easily caught up to them at each subsequent red light. They should probably ease up on the erratic weaving and braking, since I passed by one of their gonads that flew out the window.

Yesterday I went southbound on Sepulveda towards Sherman Oaks. I usually stick to the right lane as I pass Victory since I have family who live further down Sepulveda. As I approached a red on Erwin St., this tool dumbass decided to make an illegal right from the second lane however a car blocked his way. The light went green when I arrived and peds started crossing as his car completely blocked the right lane. I honked at his stupidity as I and three cars behind me had to wait for King Dumbass to move. However I didn’t do more since I didn’t want a repeat of the Farmer’s Market massacre.
I wonder if my wife would be required to use a booster seat ? (She’s only 4′ 8″)
Although, she does sit on a cushion when she’s driving!
Thomas, that’s funny, yet interesting since the new law doesn’t dictate a weight requirement the way the old one did.
