5HBA169


The Pasadena portion of the 110 freeway should come with some very specific rules. This is one of the first freeways built, the first in Southern California. It features many twists and turns, "so motorists won't get sleepy", as well as practically 90-degree on and off ramps, with stop signs on the on ramps. This brings me to rule #1: NO WEAK MACHINES!!! If you can't accelerate from a dead stop to at least fairly close to freeway speeds in a timely manner, don't get on here!!! Go to the 5 or something. Rule #2: If you are waiting to enter, PAY ATTENTION!!! if there is an acceptable opening, GO!!! That is the bad driving that Mr. or Mz. (I couldn't tell) 5HBA169 in his Mercedes E320 is guilty of. I don't know if they were yakking on their cell phone or putting on their make-up or what, but they had an unheard of HUGE opening, and didn't go. After about five seconds I laid on my horn for probably a good five more seconds before they actually got their stupid ass foot off the brake and got going.

Above The Law

I was driving along the other morning, actually moving along at a pretty good speed (the high side of 70). All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye, Parking Enforcement passed me by!!! No, your eyes do not deceive you!!! This bastard was blasting along in the car pool lane going at least 90!!!
Must be a parking crisis going on somewhere!!! Naturally, he was technically a car pool. His law enforcement ego must have been riding shotgun.
After the car pool lane ended I was able to catch up and get the close shots, clearly showing his passengers, as well as the ID numbers on his little neon. On the back it has "0270" and on the C pillar it has a "55"

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my blog, which will chronicle the things I see out on the highways of Southern California. Mostly bad driving and lawless lawmen, but also any amusing observations or things I see. Possibly I will, at a later time, set up a way for my readers to submit their own photos and examples of bad driving, too.
