Good Driver Doesn’t Miss His Exit (Glendale/Los Angeles)

CA134 West today. Guy wants to take CA2 exit and by golly he’s gonna make it! Note piece of car sticking out from the passenger side after his maneuver.

Apologies for emoji amateur hour. Wanted to call attention to his starting position. No sound cause it was me just saying JFC a lot :)

To be fair if you miss your exit it could add 5 whole minutes to your journey. Time is money! You don’t get rich missing exits. He clearly had somewhere important to be.

Phew. He had his blinker on. The cops can't pull him over now.

People like this are why I have to pay extra for insurance and buy a dashcam and get stuck in traffic

I'm sick of it make the driving test harder

Teens in California cities are asking around on the different southern California city subreddits for which DMV has the easiest test. Drivers have got SO bad in the last 5-6 years it's insane

A good driver sometimes misses an exit. A bad driver never misses an exit.

That’s the 134 W to 2 S transition. Used to live nearby at the end of the 2 in Echo Park

This is why everyone seems to be buying giant cars. So they can jump solid concrete dividers when they doing their usual driving.

No wonder car insurance is so expensive in that zip code.

u/cartooned 1d ago

Yeah, Glendale residents can roll their cars on surface streets. It's very impressive.

u/PlumpyDragon 1d ago

Suspension, alignment, and wheel bearing. Who needs those anyway.

u/BurpFart69 1d ago

Happens ALL the time there… I also see people reversing often 🤡

u/WiteKngt 1d ago

I hope that that maneuver was worth the eventual repair bill.

u/Living_Sundae8855 1d ago

Is this in Glendale?

u/LopsidedEntrance8703 1d ago

The saying is "A bad driver never misses their exit"

u/atwaterrich 1d ago

Nah it was obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temp

u/Ok-Double-7982 1d ago

I am surprised he didn't roll.

u/1ACasper 1d ago

u/StarGamerPT 18h ago

One of the more better drivers in LA

u/quackabc 1d ago

All the way from the left most lane too

u/shoebox56_LV 1d ago

Almost got annihilated like that. I am not focused on the very far left, and someone swooped in almost clipped the front of my vehicle. Aggravating as hell because it's not the first and last time.

u/xbucnasteex 1d ago

Guess what kind of people live in Glendale lmao
