Clueless, Lane-Splitting, Texting Georgian Transplant in VW Cabrio

If you want more proof that there’s something magnetic about this town that attracts all the egocentric, delusional dregs of society with unrealistic views of stardom, look no further than the young wannabe starlet in this VW Cabrio from Georgia (license plate BC6). She acted as if she was driving in L.A. for ages with the way she merged onto the 101 Fwy S. during rush hour on Friday. We were around Woodland Hills/Encino in the slowest lane of traffic approaching our exit. As we were passing a freeway on-ramp/merging lane, we saw this nut job speeding to our right well after the dotted white yellow lines for the merge lane had disappeared. This moron was then essentially lane-splitting and riding on the shoulder at one point to leapfrog over as many cars as possible before cutting in (without signaling, of course). Safety issues aside, such maneuvers are absolutely pointless during freeway rush hour traffic and only increase the chance that everyone will get delayed on their commutes home due to accidents caused by these jackasses. When the driver moved over into the lane to our left, we started passing and got a good look at a young, frizzy-haired brunette texting feverishly with her wrists at 12 o’clock on the steering wheel. Yeah, that’s smart…texting, speeding, lane-splitting, and freeway driving all at the same time. If indeed this girl is an aspiring actress, I hate to break it to her that she’s not going to get very far with “smarts” like that.
