on a night like this...

'Ever drove on a holloween night? On a rush hour? Downtown Los Angeles and its environs was horrible last Monday. A lot of drivers seemed out of synch - driving like frantics, slower or faster than usual, ignoring street signs.

But stupidity is not a handicap and no matter how broad-minded americans are, these drivers are really unforgiveable. Putting it on an appropriate theme - the undead rose from underneath to terrorize the city with their horrific driving styles. Makes me wonder how these people passed their behind-the-wheel tests.

The scene is totally like driving on a rush hour when the rain is starting to pour. Almost four years here and I still couldn't find a logical explanation why drivers in the city creates a big fuzz out of a soft touch of nature as showers or downpours. The streets are not only jammed by confused drivers, but accidents involving vehicle crashes are also a common sight. Why can't these ferocious drivers compose themselves and adjust to a very slight deviation from the ordinary?

Why would I flash a signal light to make my intention? Why would I regulary scan my left, right, and rear mirrors? Why look like a fool making a full stop on a full stop sign (yes I even count 1,2,3 simultaenously with scanning) before proceeding? All these safety techniques, obedience with rules and regulations, and nineteen years of driving experience is no match to a fast approaching maniac inconsiderately cutting you from behind leaving you with a deep sigh of relief that you and the vehicle you are driving, which is still being amortized, were not hurt.

Oh well...they say racing is living, everything else is just waiting.


When Brack reached home I asked why he was late, and he replied..."the streets were so bad...blah...blah...blah..." Looks like we have another complainer here.

Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead. Mac McCleary
