when i lived more up in central/northern california, i thought the drivers sucked. i would comment on the things that irritated me with lines like "at least LA drivers don't do that". LA drivers signal! LA drivers don't hold up the entire freeway because someone pulled over for something and they all have to stare. well i was fucking wrong. that's the LA i remembered. now i live in LA 2000s reality. LA drivers do not signal anymore and it pisses me off. you really have no idea where they are going. it's part instinct to anticipate the moves of other drivers on the road but a lot of it is constantly watching out and hoping the hell that other drivers will not crash into you. suck as when you change lanes (with the signal on), you squeeze your ass tight hoping that the other guy isn't about to change lanes into the same one and crash into you. LA drivers do not know how to do much. they can't even handle a simple stop sign or driving in a parking lot or even fucking parking inbetween the liens. you have to constantly watch out and be on guard. they're all in it for themselves like each is the god of the road. they are on 100% offense. you have to put on your best defense. and rubbernecking? it's the worst! someone in the opposite flow of traffic could be pulled over for whatever, not even a juicy accident, could just be pulled over and nothing else, and all the freeway will brake hard and possibly even come to a standstill just because they are so damn nosy. it's not one group of people. young people think they are invincible so they drive like assholes. people who own expensive cars drive like assholes too. men think women can't drive but they're just as bad. non-asians make fun of asian drivers but they're awful too. i'm just sick of crappy drivers. you don't have to be a pro, but you have to be able to handle the goddamn basics. i'm just glad it's summer now and there's no chance of rain. god forbid it rains in LA. when it does, no matter what, do not get in a vehicle! you have been warned. LA people freak out and cannot drive in the rain. not to mention that when it rains the roads are getting washed for the first time in months so it's slicker than a 1950s grease monkey's hair. it's like the scene in "a bug's life" and the ants freak out when it rains. they run screaming, "raaaaaaaaaain!". the one thing you can count on LA drivers for is wide ass turns. regardless of making a left-hand or a right-hand turn, they never make a turn into the first lane open. they always go for the lane furthest from them. i make it a point to turn into the lane closest to me so as to show LA people how to make a fucking turn. i hope that the person behind me will be zoned out and locked to my backside and make the same exact turn but they never do. always wide ass turns. yeah, that's LA.
