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.
