Comments for L.A. Can't Drive http://www.lacantdrive.com Los Angeles drivers can't drive. Plain and simple. 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.

I swear their turn signals either don't work or just don't exist because I never seem them used. BMWs are the same way, Todd.

EVERY one of them that I've encountered (usually the big SUVs being piloted by clueless women) does not signal. Must have been an option like air conditioning.

Several times I have been visibly threatened by punk bullies (one of them even indicated he had a gun! All because I wanted to merge into his lane about six car lengths ahead!) who feel like more of a man trying to intimidate a 5'3 woman in a Subaru. They hightailed it when they realized I was filming. As far as the women in big tanks tailgating-- I've noticed that too. I try to keep in mind that they probably live sorry lives and are angry about their life choices. They can't bully their husbands, they can't bully their children, they can't bully their co-workers-- so they get in their panzer intent on taking it out on *somebody*. Passive-aggressiveness at its finest. The camera works as a deterrent for road rage as well. Several times I have been visibly threatened by punk bullies (one of them even indicated he had a gun!

I realize that is a no-no. As long as you have empty road ahead, I guess you can do 60 on city streets. However, I usually obey speed limits and am cognizant that on surface streets the need to stop or slow down may come up suddenly.
