Yep. Turning left on a divided highway is so simple, but nobody knows how to do it. I'll never understand how these people think I can see through their vehicle or think they can see through mine.

Another one is how little people understand right of way at a 4-way stop intersection. It's shite that is literally on the written exam and it's like most people just block it out of their mind the day they start driving. I can't stand that shite.

Not if there is a median or a center turn lane. FYI.

It should drive you up the walls that we have to do it that way. It’s dumb. Imagine if we did red lights that way. Why is this any different than a red light except the light is hanging above.

Found the guy who doesn't know how to drive.

Anybody remember everyone coming to a full stop at flashing yellow lights during Katrina and Gustov?

When you turn left or right onto a 4 lane road you’re supposed to turn into the lane closest to you. So the left lane if you’re turning left or the right lane if you’re turning right


THANK YOU!!!


Almost nobody knows or follows this law and will almost hit you or honk at you if you actually following the law correctly and they are the ones not following it by turning into the outside lane (rather than the inside lane).

This is me at 4am on a Saturday morning going to Hopedale. Going thru that crappy area from the I-10 to the Industrial Canal Bridge. There are at least 8 red lights. I stop, but go as soon as it's clear. No way I'm getting caught by one of the upstanding citizens in that area.

Especially if you are coming into it from an intersection, where you'd have to stay on the right side anyways.

All the soccer moms that drive on Corporate blvd need to be taught this. shite is frustrating as hell.

Speed limits in my neighborhood when I going to work at 3:30 am... I never speed thru any other time as kids and people walking etc... well till I blazed by a cop in my neighborhood a few weeks ago probably doing 50, he was on a street running towards the one I was on saw him as I went past.
I stop completely at the next stop sign and he’s on me already lights on.
He says you know your in residential neighborhood,
I’m like I know I live here I’m running late for work, comes back with a warning, says make better decisions


TLDR; speeding in neighborhood got warnings

I love the looks I get when I'm doing this correctly. We are looking at each other like “look at that idiot”.

I don’t do it but drives me crazy when people drive with earbuds in both ears. It’s illegal but never enforced.

Also annoys me when people have colored lights on their car. A certain demographic always has these green, red, blue lights, etc but seems to never draw attention from police.

On rural roads, if making a left hand turn and there is oncoming traffic you’re supposed to pull off the road to the right and wait so you don’t block traffic behind you.
If possible.

Not rain sensing ones....so when it starts raining, their lights aren’t on....which is illegal in LA.
