The Bad Drivers of Los Angeles 45

- If everyone has the coronavirus why is there still so much traffic?
In the city of Los Angeles, the city that never stops driving, would we expect anything less. So one of the most recent and awful additions to my commute is when I take the 101, which mind you is literally just to get off at the next exit, has changed the exit for the worse! First of all when you exit to get to Hollywood blvd two lanes merge into one. That already has enough of it's own complications and annoyances. But now they literally added these huge posts so that you can't move over into other lanes on Cahuegna where it merges after the light. It's literally madness, we get stopped just merging because people never learned and I can't even get into that right now, meanwhile the other two lanes are open with zero cars. Mind you that only happens because not enough cars can get through at the light on Cahuegna and Mulholland because you now can't turn right on a red light?? I literally don't understand why they are trying to make my commute so much worse. It's not even like a single pedestrian CAN even walk around these areas even if they wanted to because it's literally all streets and no sidewalks. ANYWAYS, now that these posts are installed I cannot wait until the Hollywood Bowl starts up again with big concerts. I'm calling it now that the 101 will be so backed up and cause so much traffic that the world hasn't even seen before.... Okay was not expecting that to annoy me that much until I started typing it out. If you live in LA that probably made sense to you and if you don't it's probably hieroglyphics, but hey you're watching a channel about driving in LA.
So like I was saying, people run red lights, cops get weird, and of course I get honked at for just existing on the road. Why is 2020 feeling like every other year already.

From Liverpool, UK to LA, the commute is the same, the road rage is the same, Range Rover drivers are the same, drivers cutting in is the same , the only difference are the palm trees, sun and warmer weather! Keep up the great videos 😁
Liverpool is sunny sometimes!
I honestly don’t get mad at people merging last minute from a turning lane. The more people that do it actually help traffic, & if people are quick about it nobody is even disrupted. I can see people getting upset about it, but you don’t own the lane. If someone wants to merge at the last second let them. It’s not that deep. Risking you and your car because of entitlement is worse then those drivers.
You have an amazing talent at capturing exactly what driving in L.A. is like.
7:30 one time my friends and I waited (I wish I were exaggerating) 1:30hrs to get out of the parking lot of the Hollywood mall...
That’s insane
Try to always park at the exit. 😉
In that exact parking garage I waited so long to get to the exit that I had to pay for more time at the exit.
I legitimately look forward to your video each month! Fuck Coronavirus lol, keep them coming!
I honestly don’t know how you stand it!
LoL, watching the seconds tick away on the time at 6:22 is ironic when just as you leave @ 11:32 there's a sign above the boom saying "come back for seconds" 😁😆
Great video! I hope you still get to drive during the Coronavirus.
The abundance of roads in the USA seems to create more chaos than traffic flow. To me is seems to be very inefficient. In the Netherlands, we have very limited space for cars, but there is less stop and go.
every driving instructor in America would fail these people, they're breaking all the rules
I find this so addicting to watch
If you live up in calabasas there’s literally so many exotic cars that have the worst drivers as owners I swear
Good to see you tonight my friend. Your videos will never be too long, only too short. Stay healthy (your family and friends too). Looking forward to the next one.
So sad how these videos won’t be up anymore bc of Coronavirus. You posted like a week ago and I thought, yeah maybe it’ll happen in like 2 months, never a week.
Lol LA in w nutshell however in my experience I found driving in Atlanta and Chicago to be a huge pain cause people are extremely aggressive and do like 90-100🤣 Beverly hills and Santa Monica were easy once u got familiar with the road layout.
ATLEAGLE579 The speeding & weaving in / out of traffic in Atlanta is pretty bad. Definitely white knuckle driving in Atlanta
I drove in NYC and it definitely lives up to the 2nd worst traffic in America behind Los Angeles. In Jacksonville, traffic going to Downtown in Am Rush Hour is bad and PM rush hour leaving Downtown is slightly worse. Other times, free parking lots are bad and drivers don't like yielding when traffic isn't suppose to be bad.
Zipper merging is apparently just a difficult concept no matter where you drive. --_-- But also those iconic/instagram comments are why I love these videos lol.
Nice video! Always funny to see sunny LA from a different persective than movies on TV ;)
5:55 I guess the Prius hit the Honda which hit the Prius which hit the Prius which eventually hit the Prius?
People who brake constantly and for no reason should have their driver license revoked, IMMEDIATELY. Imagine how tired we are..
I think the thing with the silver Mercedes was that usually your brake lights come on before your car actually starts to brake, as a precaution to other drivers. That's why the Merc kept going. Annoyance level 110.
Oh my lord it’s like you were driving out of a sporting event!😂.
merging is not every other car... they have the right to give you space or not, but it's their right of way. You yield when you merge. You're as bad of a driver as they are.
5:55 5 Car accident... 3 of them are Priuses... LOL!
5:18 they probably drive with both feet (one on the gas and one hovers over the brake pedal, which means they also lightly tap it without realizing it).
why would anyone drive like that tho...
@@yeahnoway111 Well some people do that on a hill that is going upwards so the car doesn't roll back
Kasinova Da Don When they’re stopped, not when they’re driving!!🤪🤦♂️
Thanks God I don’t live in LA proper. Santa Clarita is such a breeze comparatively.
It’s still a shit hole
I’ve lived in Hollywood about 9 months now and in my experience the most hostile aggressive drivers were Prius owners they’re like lil vicious Chihuahua’s of the road
6:02 - notice how they were almost all Prius’s too
Annoying to be in the exit queue knowing you’re gonna be charged for the length of time you’re in the structure.
At 5:02, the person just rides the brake with the left foot. I was at a tire place where they also did brakes. The mechanic pointed to one man and said "See that guy. He comes in every 3,000 miles for a brake job because he rides his brakes.' Sure enough, as he left the lot, his brake lights were on.
So, it's not necessary to stop and watch for traffic before pulling out into a street/road?
@@BrianJoslyn You missed the point. Yes, he stopped. But when he pulled out, the brake lights were still on. He had one foot on the gas. The other on the brake, but not hard enough to stop the car. You are not telling me that brakes should be replace every 3,000 miles, are you?
I didn't miss anything. The 'problem' where you referred to in the video, as well as the video footage and claims edited in via text, is tunnel vision closed minded claims.
Maybe there's something else wrong with that vehicles brakes. Maybe it's a problem with the wiring. Maybe the wiring was previously worked on and it's either faulty wiring or the job wasn't done well. Maybe that driver was planning a turn but wasn't familiar with the route (s)he is taking to get somewhere, possibly to a location they've never been before.
Vehicles don't noticeably slow down very quickly simply from letting off the gas (or accelerator in EVs). It's very possible that driver isn't a two foot driver.
I happen to have a passed on relative who was a two foot driver.
'Riding brakes' doesn't do that much damage. It's excessive sudden stops, skids, burnouts... that cause brake problems. Just tapping brakes enough for the brake lights come on isn't enough to do anything to the brakes.
I have another relative that, at least used to, tap their brakes when someone is tailgating - and has never had a problem with their brakes as a result.
I know someone that had a '93 Chevy Cavalier years ago. They would do 'neutral drop' in front of people that stopped too close to their rear bumper at traffic lights, no brakes involved and it wasn't often sudden stops or anything hard on the brakes was needed, yet they ended up with paper thin brakes, and drove with them for some time. They had the car long enough and knew the brakes, very well. So, Mr. Know It All, tell me how the brakes ended up paper thin. Around the few(ish) years before that they had a '94 Mitsubishi Mirage LS Sport Coupe and an '88 Mazda. Both were driven with mostly the same driving habits as the Cavalier. I know the answer because I was involved with the knowledge of the three vehicles.
So, you asked a question... and I'm going to answer it.
If brakes on any given vehicle need to be fixed/replaced so often then that's simply the reality. It depends on the wear and tear, which is driver relevant. Maybe the vehicle has been, or is, used by new drivers - and it's not uncommon for new drivers to do things that are not normal and can cause one or more problem(s) with the vehicle - whether (almost) immediately or at some time in the future.
5:18 either using both feet or possibly has hand controls for gas and brake or just low brake fluid will also cause the brake lights to be constantly illuminated until the fluid sloshes back and forth at starts or stops
Movement of fluid doesn't cause lights to be on when they shouldn't be.
Although the driver could've been playing with their headlights (which would cause the brake lights to come on too - but probably isn't what's happening in this video)...
It can be faulty wiring, maybe something else was worked on that resulted in faulty wire connection, it could be a faulty light.
Brian Joslyn First, are you kidding me? How would playing with the headlight switch cause that? We’re talking third brake light being; on not the tail lights. I had an old Toyota once with this problem. Topped up the reservoir and it went away. Wasn’t a faulty brake pedal switch, as is usually the case when the high mount stays on, or a short may cause it too. Not every vehicle is the same but I’m not going to argue with you about it. Your obviously an ASE certified mechanic.
It's called being open minded and recognizing as many, or all, of the possibilities - as opposed to being tunnel visioned and/or closed minded.
Brake fluid, whether empty, lack of or full, does not cause what was happening in this video. Brake fluid is specific to whether the brakes work or not.
YOU just said a short can cause it - which is relevant to what I said, faulty wiring.
No duh not all vehicles are the same. However, parts work the same.
I'm not the one 'arguing.' Strictly respectful communication coming from me, unless you want to start with me. Obviously, you do... as per your disrespectful reply.
One needs not be mechanic to know anything about vehicles. It's the same for anything. One needs not work in the legal field to know laws. I could go on, but you're obviously too tunnel visioned and closed minded. You can't even comprehend the similarity of a short and faulty wiring.
LOL @ "wasn't the brake pedal switch"
#unsubscribe ok I’ve only worked on vehicles for 25 years. I’m closed minded. Whatever. You know more than me. Thank you I see the light now.
LOL that hashtag won't do anything.
So, according to you, nothing I say can possibly be true - simply because you've "WORKED ON vehicles for 25 years."
I said, "One needs not be a mechanic to know anything about vehicles." - which is true - yet, you don't even know the similarity of a short and faulty wiring.
The brake pedal, is not a "switch." LOL
You said I'm "obviously an ASE certified mechanic." - yet you just admitted you're not either.
So, since you imply yourself as so smart, insisting nothing I've said is true despite the fact that it is (I don't communicate about anything I don't know is valid without using appropriate wording, which I've not needed to here) - tell me what you know about EVs. I already know plenty, want several and don't even have one (yet).
you should do another time-lapse traffic video!
Liked video 👍😮
Just got the notification "1 minute ago" and now I see comments that are 12 hr old. 😭😭
FINALLY WAITED FOR THIS :D
Lols! Cant wait to get back to this.
11:32 he or she must be driving with both feet, one on the accelerator pedal and the other on the brake pedal. They forget to stop braking when accelerating. I've seen it here as well.
Could also be old. I've seen many seniors drive like that. They'll speed up, but lack proper pedal control and then see they're driving faster than they want too and keep braking.
Sojiro Seta You’re a little off on the timestamp, it’s at 5:03. Ok, you’re way off!!😂
@@durrrrl3435 omg what the hell!?!? I really don't know how I managed to make that mistake, lmao my bad 😅
@@durrrrl3435 Dude I'm literally laughing at myself. How could I've been so dumb?? 🤭
Sojiro Seta Ha ha, shit happens!🤷♂️😂
great video to showcase why I won't move to LA..... too many people drive
So much craziness!
Oh shit that’s my moms Green Camry in handicap at 7:40 😂😂😂
I find it funny how all cars on the side of the road after the crash were Prius’...
you should drop your playlist. its bomb!! now we have to individually find each song 😂
1:23 bro bumping the gta 4 ballad of gay tony song
Wow that equinox was extremely distracted to miss an entire light cycle then go when it turned red. I wonder why the bmw was upset with you when there was an entire lane completely open. The sense of entitlement with a blinker doesn’t mean that you can move over if it’s not clear.
1:45 green means stop red means go
Video would have been better without captions for things we can clearly see
Sure enough, there's always someone who's dying to be up front.
4:50 That traffic cheating was tempting me to start pulling my hair!
7:45 LoL, see why I'm not in a rush to move to LA proper?
good to see you are getting honked at you do the same so you can add to your "bad drivers" collection
You made a good comments on videos... nice work....
What dash cam do you use?:-)
That’s one of the bad things about LA, people are very rude and show it on the streets lol. And I’m sure you’ll have a video by next month, the virus won’t get us all by then
5:00- No, with the context you just look like you need to find a new place to live if all of that annoys you so badly. This is called LA traffic. People get stuck in wrong lanes and also do asshole shit. You take it too personally.
I've commented this as well a while back, just different words.
'He' doesn't get it.
lmao no wonder the guy in the jeep drove off that fucking parking structure if it takes 10 minutes to get out of there
It's April 7th as I'm writing this: has the pandemic affected the amount of traffic in Los Angeles?
Left foot braker, resting their foot on the brake pedal and the brake lights keep going on.
Man.....people seem to get off from cutting you off. If I lived in California, I’d want to be in walking distance of everything.
I literally live right down the street from my job and when I do drive it still takes 10mins it's faster to walk.
Your patience is incredible. I’m going crazy by just watching lol. So many selfish people out there.
That guy was the new stupid
Playing "pijanoo", my fav song @1:26.
0:14 Gosh I despise that entrance ramp...it's stupidly made.
About the car with continuous brake lights. If it really was their brake lights it could be that they drive like a fool with their foot half on the accelerator and half on the brake. I have an acquaintance who does that; I asked one how often they had to replace the brakes. about every 3 months. This driver may be one of those. LOL (shaking head) Next week is tire replacement week. Then I'm off to get a recall fixed, finally. I do not envy you driving in that place.
Anybody else notice how 4 of the 5 cars in the accident @6:00 were Priuses/Prii?
Has anyone noticed that so many Priuses (Prii?) are driven by Pri-icks?
Roads in America look do complicated
Nine minutes to exit a parking garage is nothing. What are you on about?
3:22 A Rolls Royce 🙂
5:20 their driving two-footed
Try 25 minutes until you can move from your space after a music concert, then getting all the way down from the top!
Love your side comments ur awesome lol 😂
you asked at around 5 min mark - How is that car braking non-stop - I'm not saying i'm right but i know friends cars if you have you parking lights on you break lights are on too but not as bright as if you did break - Hell may be wrong
I honk about 1000 times or more a day lmao and that’s cuz I’m not even in L.A.
At 2:53 he is running away from the cronovirus
I dont even live in LA but i hate this road lol
@ 1:38 >>> BMW = BVD. Why ? Because there’s always at least one asshole in each of them.
3:55 I don't know about you, but if you spend multiple six figures on a car, like half a million for a Rolls-Royce. I think you're allowed to cut in wherever you want😂
You need to chill’ bcuz you complaint about everything and everyone. I’m from LA and thats the best practice.
Who else has their notifications on? 😂❤️
Right here!
always!
1:05 they sound like Rylan and Shane Dawson
2:20 probrally a mexican frustrated driver
👍
You're still so handsome :O
that aint bad
Omg stop complaining over little things like grow up people , stop whining over people not learning how to merge or how they don’t know how to read , just deal with it , it’s the world
Range Rover more like Rage Rover... ha... I'll stop commenting sorry.
Make that 1:21.
0:22 Nope. When you merge you are supposed to yield to traffic already in the lane that you're attempting to merge into. They teach you this in Traffic School. Just because everyone in California does the zipper merge doesn't obligate anyone to follow suit.
@@Imalrightnot I understand what it's like to drive in LA. I live in west Riverside county. Still, the law's the law, and if you don't yield the right of way when you are trying to merge, you're part of the problem and not the solution.
@@BrianJoslyn Please show me where in California DMV code it says vehicles in a merging lane don't have to yield right of way to vehicles already in the lane. Go ahead, I'll wait....
@@BrianJoslyn You obviously enjoy being verbose, yet all your words can't deny the fact that expecting someone to automatically move over so you can merge into their lane is disrespectful of drivers who are following the law, as well as dangerous and unwise. No, a cop cannot give you a ticket for not moving over for a zipper merger, but he CAN give the zipper merger a ticket for failing to yield. Politeness is an altogether different topic. I have no problem granting other drivers the ability to zipper merge as long as they signal, leave enough space between their vehicle and mine, and don't drive aggressively. My problem is with people like you who EXPECT it, and then get their noses out of joint when the world doesn't cater to their whims.
@@BrianJoslyn You certainly DID imply you expect the other driver to move aside and let you merge. Why would you even be arguing with me if you didn't? You'd have to be pretty stupid to do that. (No I'm not being "disrespectful", nor am I calling you stupid.) The fact that you picked this non-sequitur tells me you're grasping at straws in order to at least appear to make a cogent argument for your position. You're attempting to use fogging to detract from an argument you cannot refute... that argument being, that failing to yield is illegal and dangerous. BTW, please specify the section and paragraph of CA DMV code that states that a citation can be written for not yielding to would-be zipper mergers (because that's the only way your claim can be pertinent to this discussion). You have a willful ignorance of the applicable law here. Respect? Respect for other drivers goes both ways and trying to butt in line by attempting an unwanted zipper merge ain't the way to get any.
@@BrianJoslyn The more someone talks or writes to try to convince me the more I am convinced they are wrong and they know it. Here's what CA law says about yielding right-of-way when attempting to merge. "21804.
"(a) The driver of any vehicle about to enter or cross a highway from any public or private property, or from an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all traffic ... approaching on the highway close enough to constitute an immediate hazard, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to that traffic until he or she can proceed with reasonable safety." What is it about this that you cannot understand?
More ridiculous complaining, everything has to be your way.
FYI: That Tesla wasn't in "self driving" mode.
As for that 'cop,' at that moment... was doing his job appropriately. Lights and siren running. Just be lucky you didn't go, ya know, cuz the light was green.
There ARE vehicles that are made to be safe. It also depends on exactly how the impact happened. Instead of disrespectfully focusing on how that driver didn't die, try respectfully focusing on him/her living to see another day. Maybe (s)he had a vehicle malfunction. Unless that driver was trying to commit suicide, it's likely (s)he didn't do it purposely. Straight into a building doesn't make it any better.
When see people wanting to cut in I hold my ground and get as close to the car in front of my like I'm their trailer or something if they hit me its their fault as you can't just throw on a signal and expect to be let in its the other cars job (signaling car's) to change lanes in a safe lawful manner.
YOU CAN DRIVE CAR WHEN YOU 15 YEAR OLD DOSENT DISAPOINT ME AT ALL YOU GUYS HAVE BAD DRIVERS
I dont even live in LA but i hate this road lol
