    are you a thoughtful automobile driver?

    when you drive, do you try and pay attention to what other drivers are trying to do or where they are going, traffic flow, needing to merge, etc and adjust your driving?

                I use turn signals at 3am out of habit. Most people don't use turn signals driving 80+ mph on busy freeways. I always assume people are idiots so I never ride up people's asses like a lot of my friends do.

                              I you own an SUV in Scottsdale I think you are forced to go to some class about how not to let people merge in front of you. Women being even worse than guys it seems.

                              Come on people it's not a big deal to let someone change lanes!

                                LA has better (more courteous) drivers than any place I can think of. US or EU. Okay, upon further thought, as there are laws against aggressiveness in Germany, they may be forced to be more courteous there.

                                  When I drove I was always on the defense. Now when I walk, I'm still looking at traffic as a danger. People get crazy when driving. Keyboard warriors can only aspire to be as callous and detached as road raging jerkwads.

                                      I could write volumes on how good a driver I think I am, and how bad I know most other drivers are. Even as I'm typing this I'm resisting the urge to go off on a rant

                                        it's funny you mention that, i've noticed peeps in crossing walks rarely make eye contact, even mom's pushing baby strollers just charge on out, with the baby in the carriage leading the way.

                                            Definitely,

                                            It's usually not that hard to spot "problematic" drivers, it's basically a couple stereotypes that turn up over and over again.

                                            According to my experience - usually the places with the worst traffic have the best drivers, cause they're forced to anticipate.

                                                let me ask the question another way. say you are in a left turn lane waiting for the left turn light at an intersection you know has a short left turn signal. as you wait for the green, you look in your rearview and notice several cars behind you that also need to turn left. so when the light turns green, do you move forward quickly so more cars can go, or do you not give a shit what happens to those cars behind you?

                                                that's an example of the *thoughtfulness* i am referring to.

                                                are you thoughtful that way?

                                                        that's an example of the *thoughtfulness* i am referring to.

                                                        are you thoughtful that way?
                                                        I am not going to obstruct with the right of way of someone else just so people behind me can catch a break. As far as moving quickly, I move as quickly as can be done safely.

                                                            I have to. I always like to analyze the other drivers. It's a way of learning how not to act while driving. And of course, we all make mistakes sometimes.

Kind of like people that move here from NY or MI, decide they hate it and move back home only to realize that they actually like LA a lot more.
                                                                                        thx for rephrasing, but that's not an accurate summary of my view/feelings/thoughts on the matter.

                                                                                        fact is, i love los angeles. i love the roads, highways, views, places- everything.

                                                                                        i think the level of thoughtfulness with drivers here is no greater or worse than anywhere else i've driven/ridden. is it the same as it was 30 years ago, of course not. there are a lot more people on the roads these days, makes a big difference.

                                                                                                    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
