Bay Area Drivers: a relatable moment

[breathedout]

Tfw you're stopped at a light and the car in front of you does something so outrageously oblivious that it would never have occurred to you to consider it as an action someone might potentially attempt with an automobile on a modern thoroughfare. Mouth agape, you glance around the intersection and accidentally catch the eye of the driver of another car, who stops gesturing angrily at the bananas driver in order to share with you an incredulous look, becoming a "can you believe this?" smile, and turning at last to the "I got you, girl" hand gesture in a moment of profound solidarity and understanding, just as the light turns green.

My working theory of why the drivers in the Bay Area are so terrible is that they've all cheated their way through the written driving test, since the answers can be found online. (Unlike LA drivers, who are simply experiencing the long term effects of living near the Hellmouth, which is obviously under LAX.)

Also, I recently spent a week driving through northern Greece, a place where all highway entrances have signs telling you not to drive in reverse or make a U-turn (so you can get back to the exit). Bay Area drivers would thrive here.
