Or "Triangle Two"

Same place as last time I got someone going across the triangle at the end of a transition road. I was originally getting a picture of the Scion going at the last moment, but then I got the Z. Got his plate and everything, good one. Completely in the triangle.

Why I Was Late Friday

You know, sympathy for the dead and all.

BUT COME ON! Making a major inconvenience for thousands of motorists? I certainly don't think that is a way to endear yourself to the community!

"To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessd. Just as the camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a sublimated murder"

~Susan Sontag

I found that line and I though it was great. I was thinking of posting it on Lilly's blog, but I didn't think that was appropriate to the current crop of pictures she has on there. Maybe later.

I though this was great. Same interchange as the shots I took on the 15th and the 20th. It really is like shooting fish in a barrel there, too. This is the first time I got a real good shot of the plate, too. Moron in his land yacht though he was going to pass me in that barge on the curve. I think not! Other than other similar sized hulks and "sport" utility vehicles, I don't think there is much that couldn't out-corner this asshole. I think he was disturbed that I wasn't going to slam on my brakes and give him an engraved invitation to cut in front of me. Just try it and see what happens! You know the people who do this shit do it every single day of the week. I stuck my camera over my shoulder and squeezed off a shot, but those almost never come out. Anyway, I had moved on, and was taking pictures of the guy with is dog hanging out the window, and he passes me. Got a shot of blurry trees when I tried to get that, as well as seeing him yakkity damn yakking on his cell. I positioned myself behind him to get his plate in case any of the other two came out, and this is what I got. Look, he's saluting me! Hahahahaha! I was greatly amused. I only wish this blog had wider appeal so many more people could witness this stuff.

Deja Vu

This was so wild, I had to post it here. Once again, I couldn't get a clear license plate shot, but this mini van did the EXACT SAME THING that I had made a post of before!

All the way from the far left to the far right.


I still like the wall or killer laser cannon idea.

5STP400 and 5BAJ794

If you listen to 95.5 KLOS, you are familiar with their "2 for Tuesday" custom. Here is a little 2fer of my own!

Once again, I was able to demonstrate my uncanny powers of precognition!

This lane ends on the far side of this intersection. I drive it often, and I would bet money that today's featured bad drivers do, too.

So, what do they do? They get out of the left lane, into the right lane to inconvenience everyone who actually stays in the proper lane! Another place where they should put up a wall!

5STP400 especially pissed me off, not only do they do that, but then they're making a left turn immediately after, and as you can see, there is no actual left turn lane and many parked cars. It really slows things down, thanks a lot asshole!

5BAJ794 ended up staying in front of me for almost the rest of my drive. They demonstrated no other citeable faults, but their mere presence was pissing me off!

4SBH075 (I Think...)

Another from the low-light morning collection. I could almost make out the numbers on the plate! Here is coming south through the East L.A. interchange, something that you will see a lot of if you go this way on a regular basis. As you can see, I started taking these pictures before he started the move. You can just tell.

The left lane is clearly designated as going on the 60 east about a half mile or more before. In fact, this lane is added on expressly for this direction. Nonetheless, there are always people who get in that lane, then at the last moment get into the lane to the 5 south. I think they should make a solid curb or wall between these lanes, it would probably free things up in this area considerably!

Not only did this guy make this maneuver, but continued on all the way to the far right lane. I hereby revoke your driving privileges!

Foiled Again!

This one is a classic. This fool cuts in front of me with inches to spare to get out of the left hand lane. Of course, I wasn't going any faster, because there was someone in my lane going the exact same speed!

So, the next thing I see is his brake lights. The ones that still work, anyway. Second shot is me behind him at the next red light. Good thing you made that dangerous maneuver, scum.

Of course, the one day where I'm out with my camera and have the possibility of getting a good shot, and this guy doesn't have a plate. I wouldn't either, if I drove like this.

The Triangle

Sorry for not posting recently, faithful followers of my travels. As I stated earlier, I have been hindered by lack of decent light.

Another twilight shot I did manage to get, but no identifiable shots were gettable. Here's an idiot who waits until the last second, and then cuts across the triangle separating the off ramp and the feeder road. At least he signaled!Looks like a half second later and he would have been in the dirt!
