VW

A return to one of the most prolific spots for seeing bad drivers, the South 5 at the East LA interchange! I'm sure I've mentioned before, but about a mile before the split, it picks up another lane on the left, which is clearly posted as going to the 60 East. There's always a bunch of people who wait until the last moment, then get back on the 5 South lanes. I've got what I think would be an excellent solution, but I'd bet that they'll never do it, because it 1) makes sense, & 2) would work.

Here's a prime example. This guy in the Volkswagen sedan (Jetta?) doesn't even start signalling until it's solid white line, and cuts over the full triangle, and causes the driver he cuts off to brake. I'd put money down that they come this way five days a week.

Reflexes

OK, I've got several more little video clips of bad drivers I could post, but for a change here's someone who gets the Rain Man Excellent Driver Award! Perhaps one day I'll actually make up an image for that, but for now, enjoy the good reflexes displayed by this driver!!!

Unfortunately, I've discovered that my cheap little dash cam, even though it has 1080p definition, isn't anywhere near good enough to catch license plate tags, even right up on them like this was! I'm either going to have to go back to using my still camera (which I never really much cared for, therefore the primary reason I stopped for so long) or the phone camera (really not a great format, being a flat little touchscreen) or just making a note and you'll have to take my word for it!

UPS

Hey, everybody!!! After a long LONG break, here I'm back!!! A few months back I picked up a dash cam, and believe me, there's no shortage of bad drivers I could submit from it!!! Now that I've remembered my password, I'll probably be posting more, but for now, here's a shot of a UPS truck making a last minute lane change over a solid white line with no signal!!!

Bonus, there's a Fiat that looks like they want to change lanes at the last minute, too, but they lack the courage of their convictions. They never did change lanes.
