I live in the LA area, and sometimes I just don't understand how people drive. I can't say I am a very good driver, but some people just do things that doesn't make sense.
The other day I was at the light trying to make a left, and this lady in mid 30s with her cheap old Civic behind me. It was at peak hours so there were quite some traffic. When the green turned green, cars started to move. Since I would have to wait until the on-coming traffic are gone before making the left, there's no reason for me to pull forward fast, so I just let the car roll forward.
Now I heard several horn. Out of curiosity, I looked into the mirror, and I saw the lady saying (read her lips), "Come on, go!" Now it's cute, all the on-coming traffic are still there, so I was supposed to hit them to make the left. Of course not.
Well, finally came the time where I could make the left, I made the left and she just followed without looking if there're some other cars coming. Results, more horns on her.
That's not the end yet. The road I turned into has 3 lanes, and I stayed at middle. This lady continued her lips talking, went straight to the right lane, and started accerlerating. Now she's totally showed off her stupidity, since the right lane will have to merge left, and her Civic is never good enough to catch up on me. So I just simply stayed ahead of her and forced her to merged back into my lane.
Good time came and I saw this SUV driving slowly on the left lane (now it's down to two lanes). Without a doubt, I braked, and stay close with the SUV, so she would have to drive slowly. And yes, her lips couldn't stop, but why would I care?
After one light I thought I would just let her go, so I accelerate and passed the SUV, and in no time she accerelate and cut to left lane, and I could sense that the driver in the SUV was "SOBing" her as well. In order to show her anger, she cut back into my lane, which I expected already.
However, there came the funniest part. Now she was on the right lane right? But probably coz' she was too pissed off by me, she forgot that she had to turn left at the left (she was at the light already), so she simply made a clown out of herself by slamming onto the brake, hit the left-turn signal (believe me, she did remember that), cut to the left lane, and then one more lane to the left-turn-only lane.
That simply forced me and the SUV to brake. Now I didn't intend to do anything, but I guessed the SUV was angry, so he kept on horning her. The car on the left-turn lane from on-coming traffic also horned (probably coz' he also thought she's insane). Well, with two cars supporting, there were no reason for me not to horn, so I did as well. Therefore ended up three cars horning at her at the same time. She should feel good.
This is only one of the many examples I have seen here, but this one happened just yesterday, and i really have no clue what was wrong with her. I guess with a normal mind I will never understand.
