Here's one that I see all too often. Someone turns right on a red light, which I have no problem with.

HOWEVER, don't turn into the only lane with oncoming traffic in it and go slow!

Did you know that these highly regarded Land Rovers are powered by an engine that was introduced by Buick in the early 60's? I notice that they accelerate like it.

Another point of interest: Moron is getting into the left turn lane well after it has begun (you can see I'm already fully in the turn lane) with no signal. Every brake light except the high third light (eclipsed by my rear view mirror) were also burned out. You pay that much for a slow, overpriced "sport" utility and it is so soon broken in such a fundamental way?

Happy Holiday


Nice, inoffensive seasonal decorations. Is this what it has come to? Sparkly stars are all that will be tolerated?

Screw that. I say:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sometimes the infraction doesn't photograph so well. I have probably hundreds of attempts that fall into this category, and it seems I've had a bit of a dry spell for getting really good shots. Perhaps one day I'll post a series of these pics, the infractions are good, at least. Anyway, Granny called me on not having any recent posts, so I had to throw up SOMETHING.

I'll call this guy Ricky Racer. Too much engine up front and too little brain upstairs, and a tank of hi test burning a hole in his... injectors? The freeway was moving along at a decent clip, 70 or so mostly. Nothing to complain about or anything. Here comes Ricky Racer, up behind me probably pushing 90 or better. You see this kind of thing on a fairly regular basis, and it is usually predictable. He closes the gap quickly (surprise!) and within a couple of car lengths (in other words, at the last second) cuts to the right, with no signal or sign (other than the predictability of his ilk). Umm, hey Einstein, don't you think I'd be over there too if it were moving any better? He gets a little ahead of me (on his brakes the whole way because, HEY, there's a car over there, too!), moves around some into other lanes, ends up probably 5 cars or so behind me in the same lane again, and in his ADHD way keeps moving all over the road, on the throttle and the brake constantly. I wonder what kind of mileage hit that makes for. Anyway, he finally does end up ahead of me... six or seven miles up the road, and only then because I'm heading to the right (slower) lanes, because I'm exiting soon!
