Entrance to UCLA Lot 4 and Young 1/31
This woman turned right on red into the left lane nearly creaming me and a couple of pedestrians, and then steadfastly refused to acknowledge my presence all the way down to the kiosk.

Ocean Park at 18th 1/30
Barely visible, but there are the wheels of the car that didn't stop for a pedestrian in the crosswalk.
Broadway at 20th 1/30
See the backend of that silver sedan running the light? Another car came through the intersection after it.
15th at Broadway 1/30
The driver of this Mercedes turned the corner and then just stopped, smack in the middle of the street.
San Vicente at Anita 1/30
Nothing like glancing in the rearview mirror only to see a Range Rover thisclose and still accelerating. And look! There's Mojo, grinning up at me.

Bundy below Dunoon 1/28
Betcha thought I'd given up on capturing hummers. No! I've been using two hands to drive in the rain and missed countless of them, including two stretch hummers in the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium parking lot.
17th at Washington 1/28
Rumors of a gunman at Lincoln Middle School led the cops to shut down a nine-block square of northern Santa Monica.
San Vicente at Bundy 1/28
New rule: if you've been behind a tow truck pulling a humongous RV at a stop light, then you are entitled to ignore any red lights that may come between you and it.
Bundy from Olympic to Wilshire 1/28
Spilling a steady stream of concrete as it drove north, this cement mixer barreled through the red light at Olympic.
20th at I-10 exit ramp 1/28
You can't really see in the photo but there are two more cars lined up behind the red one, blocking the intersection.

West Channel at Rustic 1/27
No good deed goes unpunished: the SUV allowed the sedan to pull out and turn left, so he pulls out and stops.
Kenter at Homewood 1/27
Didn't stop at the stop sign in front of the school during dropoff and then was weaving in and out of parking spaces up to the school.

I-10 transition ramp to the I-405 1/24
Nothing like being late for the class you're teaching, getting parked way up on the overpass and seeing nothing but a solid wall of red lights into which a long line of cars ahead of you is merging. And at that point you are committed. There is no turning back.

20th from Pico to Colorado 1/23
Whipping in and out, tailgating, this Audi driver was generally unsafe and unpleasant to have on the road.

26th at Santa Monica 1/22
This was the second of two cars here this morning. And you should have seen Wilshire and 26th! The light turned and there were so many cars still going through the intersection that I wondered if somthing was broken. But no, just a general lack of civility.

Overland at I-10 entrance ramp 1/18
Lots of cars through this light, as well as an obnoxious guy in a car filled to the brim with trash who wanted me to leap into traffic when it wasn't safe at all.

Kenter above Bundy 1/16
My trainer Ryan said today he saw a commercial touting 16mpg highway for the h3. We were both skeptics.
Broadway at 20th 1/16
This van was all over the road, and when a bunch of cars queued up to turn right he moved to the left lane, only to veer back into the through lane, cutting off this lady.
San Vicente at Burlingame 1/16
That car poking out? Moving backwards. But he didn't back up far enough for anyone in my lane to get by. We're entitled, but he's more entitled. Oh well!
