And may I just say that for the last week or so that LA drivers, frequently the most insane and inept anywhere, have completely lost it and should not be allowed in their vehicles. If I weren't a great driver, completely defensive, I would have been creamed by idiots who have no concept of where they're going, how they're supposed to get there, what traffic laws are in effect - they are the most selfish, stupid, inane dweebs who ever walked the face of the earth and they are potential killers because they simply do not care about others or safety. Normally, the excuse is that they're on their cell phones, which is sometimes the case, but in the last week it hasn't even been that a lot of the time - it's just insanity running (or driving) rampant. I've had idiots in the extreme right hand lane figure out they needed to turn left in ten feet and just veer across all lanes of traffic, cutting me and everyone else off and causing us to slam on our breaks - they're not even aware, these idiots, and they think it's their right to do what they do. I've had people driving five miles an hour in a thirty-five mile an hour zone. I've had people driving in two lanes at the same time. I've had people sit as the left turn arrow lights - just sit until it is too late to go, and THEN they go, almost killing people who now have a green light, and precluding the others in the left turn lane from actually being able to turn left. They should be taken out and hung.
