Blatant Red Light Running Dodge Pickup

Idiocy Meter

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been seeing a spike in drivers running red lights. I’m not even talking about cases where drivers are trying to turn on a yellow light or the like, either. Rather, I’m witnessing blatant speeding through reds or drivers tired of waiting at a red light and then going through the intersection. Seriously, even for a town as egocentric as this, that’s pretty fu*ked up. Do you not care about your face? You won’t have one if you get hit by a car going on green because you never grasped the rules of the game “red light, green light” as a kid. This asshole in a Dodge pickup (license plate begins with a 6Y) blew through a red light at the intersection of Noble and Burbank Blvd. Cars that had the green light were already moving into the intersection when I saw this douchebag in a silver bullet speed right through. Was he on his phone? Did he not care? Did he actually think the light was still yellow? Regardless, his insanity didn’t get him very far, as I easily caught up to him at the next red light at Sepulveda and Burbank. I know this town isn’t exactly known for its bright minds, but can we at least get some semblance of common sense, at least something that’s even fueled by the need for self-preservation? Getting into a horrible collision and losing limbs just because you wanted to sit at a red light one block farther down the road is about as stupid as blow-drying your hair in a bathtub full of water. It’s also as asinine as wearing your sunglasses indoors when it’s not even bright outside, and look how many morons do that here.
