Jesus, that's so horrible.
With two of the vehicles going the wrong way, it makes me wonder if they were inebriated and maybe this took place near a bar.
I wish the US had way better public transportation
The amount of damage alcohol has had on our society cannot be overstated. I'd wager it's worse than the impact of cigarettes in our history.
I'd wager the amount of damage car-dependent zoning has done is even worse than that.
I mean, cigarettes don't cause collateral damage
Second hand smoke is well documented collateral damage, but I know what you mean.
second hand snoke is bad, the difference is that smoke generally doesnt cause sudden immediate damage, generally long term one unless you somehow got injured by the flames
It’s LA - drivers are like that here for no reason at all. That nurse who went over 100mph into a family on a sidewalk was from here. Same with those people just shooting randos on the highway.
LA (and most of SoCal) operates with road warrior rules - get the fuck out of the way because the drivers will kill you and piss on your corpse.
…plus the street takeovers and assholes doing donuts on the highway. Nothing like watching swarms of assholes freeze traffic so they can spin in a circle on a bridge.
TL/DR: it has nothing to do with public transportation. These assclowns will continue to be assclowns if you invented instant matter teleportation.
