It's become hot here in the LA area, and that seems to bring out a lack of patience in drivers. Today's report is more of the same HOV car pool bullshit.
A black 2006 Porsche 911 4S Turbo was being driven by a young Italian looking guy with the obligatory fat gold chain and medallion. He look to be in his mid to late 20's and he was by himself. I didn't get his tag number.
Again, here we have a situation of a schmuck darting in and out of the car pool lane across double yellow lines. He was himself looking rather pissed that traffic was a bad as it was. He was right, traffic was bad with the quickest lane only moving about 15 mph, and it was the slow lane number 5. The rest of us understood the situation and made the best of it. For some reason he would not accept that the traffic was going to slow him up for a bit. I lost sight of him somewhere just past Sunset Blvd. Traffic on the SB 405 remained bad until past Long Beach's Cherry Ave off-ramp.
I was hoping that a CHP cruiser or motor officer would have seen him performing is A-hole acts, but I realized that the $451 minimal fine would not have meant shit to this guy with the foreign trust fund. State of CA should increase the license point penalty to drivers who abuse the car pool laws from 1 point per infraction to 3.
