All Pace Car drivers must come from San Diego. This is the only place I&#8217;ve ever been where consistently drivers accelerate or decelerate to maintain a rolling road block.<\/p>\n<p>At first I thought the people were playing games but it&#8217;s not gamesmanship, it&#8217;s the way these people normally drive!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve actually sat in an honest to god traffic jam here, that was caused by nothing more than two 18-wheelers, one gardening truck, an RV and a couple idiots in cars.<\/p>\n<p>10 miles of open road ahead, and bumper to freaking bumper traffic stuck behind them. And YET, not one of these morons would accelerate change lanes and let other people by.<\/p>\n<p>This place appears to be the training ground for NASCAR pace drivers. \u00a0This wouldn&#8217;t be that big an issue except that there isn&#8217;t a need for this many pace-cars.<\/p>\n<p>But then there&#8217;s the demolition driver wannabes. These are the folks that exit a freeway, make a right and cross 4 lanes of traffic to sit in the center lane instead of continuing their insane driving where at least they&#8217;d get the hell out of the way. But noooo, these folks after all the craziness are driving at 25 miles pers hour when the rest of traffic is doing 55.<\/p>\n<p>This also explains why most cars in San Diego have dents and dings.<\/p>\n<p>I think a great business investment in this area would be a body shop. But given all the regulations on paint, and prepping materials for doing bodywork, you&#8217;d probably go broke paying off the inspectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years I used to wonder why the traffic and driving in Los Angeles was so bad.
