Los Angeles Drivers, Boo

We’ve got ‘em here, too, but they’re of a different sort. It’s perfectly normal to be accelerating up a freeway on-ramp, only to see a car stopped at the top of the ramp with his left turn signal on, waiting for an opening in traffic. “Merging into traffic” is an unknown technique around these parts.

The other type of driver accelerates aggressively up the on-ramp and immediately merges all the way over to the #1 lane (the “fast lane”), even though the other lanes are clear and wide open. Typically it’s an Audi or jacked-up Ford 4x4.

Sometimes it sucks to behind those drivers when that happens.

Yes, I have seen and heard what happens to those drivers as dust and chards of plastic rise up into the air.
