I've never seen a population of drivers so bad at zipper merging as the people in Baton Rouge.

Every city has it's fair share of shite drivers, but this specifically seems to be a hard concept for Baton Rougeians.

If I ever strike it super rich, I think I'm going to make it my life's mission to do the following:

1. Lobby politicians to make driving tests much, much harder and more comprehensive. Only people that would vote against that aren't old enough to vote.

2. Lobby politicians to pass a bill that creates more enforcement of texting and talking on the non-handsfree phone while driving. Multiple strikes and you lose your license for a long, long time. It is just as dangerous as drunk driving, penalties should be the same.

3. Have billboards all along I-10/I-12 that have very simple driving concepts in big bold letters such as "THE LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY" and "YOU CAN TURN RIGHT ON RED UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED" and "YIELD DOESN'T MEAN STOP"


ETA:

and maybe try to feed the hungry or something

I lose my shite every time I get on the bridge from LA1. Those assholes will frick up the zipper merge for one car length closer to bumper to bumper traffic. It's maddening.

They're scared that the baw in the left land will get mad at them if they drive correctly.

It's all dumbassery.
