Stand Your Ground

Dear LA Drivers,

I think I can safely assume that you have made a right turn at one time or another. Correct?

And I'm sure we have all walked down a street, as well. Correct?

Then please tell me why you, as a pedestrian, think it's acceptable to stand with your toes off the edge of the sidewalk while you're waiting for the light to turn green? Yeah yeah, I know this isn't a commentary of your driving skills, but seriously, I have to know. You must realize that you're inches away from being clipped by the 2,000 pound metal death box that is turning right, right in front of you. Why do you take that chance?

Really, it's not fair to the driver. Because if the driver hits you, the driver gets in trouble, not you. This is where I wish "Darwinism" was a valid legal defense. You're basically asking to be hit when you stand that close to moving traffic.

So for the love of all that is holy, please stand a foot away from the curb's edge.

Thanks!

Pay Attention

Dear LA Drivers,

I'm of the belief that if you cause an accident on a freeway or on a busy street that leads to lane closures and backed up traffic, you should have your license suspended for a determined amount of time. If you do it more than 3 times, it should be permanently suspended. Because what you have done is completely ruined the well-timed route that every single person that is not you has planned for their day. I don't care if your accident stresses you out, raises your insurance, ruins your day. You are the actual cause of ruined days to a multitued of your fellow citizens.

So really, don't do it. Pay attention on the road, don't drive like a douche on the freeway, and if you DO cause an accident on a street, move your car to the side quickly.

Thanks!
