I've made mention here before about being in the lane you need to be in in advance. For your viewing here is a prime example of how not to do just that! Coming from the other direction in this clip, you'll see in the right lane of the two that continue straight a car that obviously should have been in the right turn lane. They block that lane for the full duration of the green light coming that direction. At the end of the clip, I added on where I was behind them and you can clearly see the obligatory "USC Alumnus" plate frame!

In case you might have thought I unfairly disparaged USC alumni in my previous post, here's another one doing the exact same move! This time in a Porsche Cayenne, and this time waiting until the were firmly into the solid white line to cross over. This is a rather lengthy video this time, because I wanted to show how long and how much free area was available for them to get over well ahead of the last second!

The bonus catch I got on this one was the Toyota mini truck that was ahead of them with dealer paper plates from Penske, pulling the same move, albeit not quite as late. Sure didn't look that new!

5XSS015 & 5XNV252

This is heading up the 710 to the transition to the 10. Always ALWAYS people who want to go East staying in the Westbound lane (which is clearly marked way back) until the last minute then cutting over. This car was totally predictable, it's an Acura, and they have a USC alumnus license plate frame. Pretty much most Japanese "luxury" model (a rebadged Toyota, Honda, or Nissan) you can count on having a rude, inconsiderate or just plain bad driver, it seems.

So it start off with the cyclist heading up. I don't count them, but, dude, watch out for the Acura! Sure enough, 5XSS015 starts signalling late, and doesn't even make an attempt where there's plenty of room ahead of the truck where the bike gets over, but waits until way late. Bonus, right as he heads right, you get the Nissan 5XNV252 (don't get me started on Nissan drivers) who it looks like heads to the left side crossing over the solid white line (and then proceeded to drive really slow).
