    That's one way to ruin a guy's day! Tool in the SUV just took off too, hope he gets a heavy fine!

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Wow. That's actually infuriating. The PT Cruiser pit maneuvered him into a roll after the fucking retard in the SUV caused the whole thing.

    Just wow man. People in SUVs are literally the absolute worst things on the road.

    The type of car doesn't have anything to do with a shitty driver. I've seen plenty of morons in Tacomas over the years! Sometimes you just end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Around these parts: SUV = retard. The vehicles to watch out for are ALWAYS over-self-important BMW/Mercedes owners and SUVs. Also any full size pickup with one of those big gay drop bracket lift kits and 4+" blocks.

    Hmmm...is a crv an suv? If it is, then I am one of your "retards" although in 26 years of driving I have 0 tickets and 0 accidents that were my fault. Maybe my Tacoma offsets the retardedness of my crv.

    Being a FireFighter/Medic, one thing I noticed about this whole thing was the people actually trying to help the driver. Along with not one single person was just standing there filming on their cellphone, which is super rare these days.

    For real though, there are so many terrible drivers in SoCal it's actually pretty terrifying. I've managed to avoid ever being in a major accident in 16 years of daily driving out here and well over 300,000 miles total (knock on wood). You have to be really defensive on the road, I'm constantly looking ahead to see what kind of potential idiotic moves someone might make. Anytime I'm in a lane that's going faster than the one next to it, I keep my hand ready over my horn and my foot ready to slam the brake because I've been cut off by so many idiots pulling in front of me without looking. Ever since I got my Tacoma I just cruise in the slow lane at 65, 70 tops and I avoid the madness and sheer idiocy of 99% of other drivers in the fast lanes. Just not worth it to me to get to work 5 minutes faster at the risk of getting my truck totaled or getting hurt. So many other examples I could go on and on and on...driving out here really does make you a jaded a-hole over time.

    It is all over the country for bad drivers .

    Each area has it`s own brand of dumb driving moves .

    That is why if at all possible I avoid the interstates

    I also must be included in the retard class is not a 4Runner a SUV ??

    Yup, in fact that's what you're supposed to do according to the insurance company. If you break your lane by swerving and hit the car next to you then you're at fault (at least partially) for their damage.

    You've got the mentality of a (safe) motorcycle rider. If you aren't, props! We need more drivers like you haha

    lol thanks. I don't own a motorcycle but I've often thought it would be a lot of fun to. The thought of getting hit by stupid drivers though keeps me from doing it. Maybe someday if I live in a remote area, but living in LA it's pretty much a death wish

    Yeah, traffic here is getting like LA these days. I usually take the back roads during rush hour or leave work late just so I don't have to deal with as many idiots when I'm riding. Bumper to bumper traffic on two wheels is a pants-shitting level of scary haha
