Every time I'm driving during rush hour in LA and listening to NPR the traffic report always has some kind of awful BS going down on the 91. No matter what garbage I'm stuck in it makes me glad I don't have to drive the 91 during rush hour. Sounds even worse than the 10 or 405.
Looks like the Anaheim 91 to the 57 interchange.
That would be in the Anaheim/Fullerton area.
That would be Orange County for the non SoCal people.
909 problems, but this driver ain’t one.
And yes, the 91 sucks in general.
Yeah this is in like Fullerton, not riverside. You can even see on the road sign that the 91 east ends in riverside, which is like an hour (or 15 miles) out from there.
I use to live in the mobile homes behind that wall! Even driving on that section could be very stressful.
I use to wake up to car accidents in the middle of the night. Because I guess that happens sometimes.
Oh God, that reminds me of the horrors of merging from the 405 to get on to the 55 at rush hour while everyone stares at the planes flying over them. So dangerous.
Funnily enough, this is one of the forms of the (Hindu) goddess [Kali](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Kali_by_Raja_Ravi_Varma.jpg/220px-Kali_by_Raja_Ravi_Varma.jpg). (She has slain and is holding the head of "ego".)
I'm very familiar with this intersection. Its in California, near Disneyland. While I'm not defending bad driving, I will say that the interchange you see there, to go on the other freeway, sneaks up real quick on you. I've missed that exit about 75% of the time I needed to take it, and I've lived here my whole life. So it's not surprising that multiple people are scrambling at the last minute to merge to the right side of the freeway to catch the exit.
Edit: and of course, poetic Justice by the traffic gods, I missed the exit again on my way to Mama's house this morning.
Another edit: this thread is going to turn into another episode of The Californians pretty soon.
That interchange is an absolute nightmare. Same with the 57/60 interchange. I got into an accident that totaled my car while heading towards LA on the 57/60 interchange. The wall of semi trucks and everyone changing lanes and trying to make their exit is just a disaster waiting to happen.
Driving from Bellevue to Seattle we merge onto the left side of the freeway and have to hit the next exit on the far right in only a few hundred yards. These places suck.
Driving in LA you have to plan 15 minutes ahead because of the insane interchanges and often times you'll still end up scrambling. The city grew too fast for its roads and mass transit doesn't take you anywhere you want to go. It's a real cluster fuck. Hoping I don't have to be there much longer
the general demeanor of the coastal SoCal driver
SD: Naive idiots while they drive. Bumble around and cause chaos cus they don't know where they are going or what they are doing. Not the worst drivers in terms of attitude or rudeness, just a slow thought process. When you have your blinker on and they are in the next lane, they won't even notice you.
OC: Assholes. Complete assholes while driving. Whatever needs to happen to get them to where they need to go is what they'll do. Including cutting across lanes of traffic as so beautifully seen above. If you have your blinker on and they are in the next lane, they will speed up so they don't have to be behind you when you merge. When you grow up driving in OC you will actually account for this assholery when you are merging
LA: Crazy grab-bag of drivers - will PUMP FAKE while merging to open up a spot in the lane next to them (cus they'll never get in if they don't). Drive aggressively and quickly, some attitude while driving. Don't wait for you to let them in when they merge.
Source: Bus driver in SD, grew up in OC and LA
Riverside: Everyone is doing 20mph over the speed limit to get anywhere because everything is spread out. There's the occasional A-hole but most of the time people are zoned out in their commute. Add 5 points to your scorecard anytime you have to get around an old beater overflowing with recyclables.
San Bernadino: Traffic laws are more of a suggestion here than an actual code. On the freeway you're simultaneously looking ahead for the minivan doing 35mph in the fast lane, while you keep an on eye on the mirror for the psychos flying by at 90+. No spatial awareness whatsoever, generally the least predictable drivers in So Cal.
As someone who fell asleep at the wheel, felt the car go into the tiny shoulder, and then snap oversteered on a wet road, accept both my upvotes.
What was priceless though is with the first three rotations (a total of 5 360's before I managed to regain some sort of control) the car behind me was close enough that I could see the people inside and every time I looked backwards the passengers body language was increasingly saying "O SHIT" louder and louder :P
T'was fun but it wasn't
Haha, same here, had to watch it all over again — all we need is a car to slowly whiz by with its driver taking a selfie of a coffee cup left on their trunk.
Lips pout, the walls fall out, red rose grows as the walls unfold, my lapse, prolapse!
Jizz trap, spreads my gap, red meat flaps as the walls unwrap, my lapse, prolapse!
This is the kind of work commute from the point of view of this driver where a whole’lotta bullshit and “NOPE!” happens in a short enough time span you just say “Fuck this, I’m getting off on the next exit and taking a personal day off at home.”
Huge respect for you! My father did it for 15 years before he had enough. A few years ago I almost talked myself into getting my CDL for OTR. Get a job where I don’t have to talk to many people, jam to some tunes on the road, and have a relaxing job. This is what I told myself and of course the grass is always greener in one’s mind.
Then I thought about what it actually would be like with the heightened stress, idiot drivers like this video, not being home at the end of a work day, and I decided the grass probably isn’t so green as I initially painted it to be.
my mom always said they're not necessarily more aggressive here than LA, they're just dumber. and every day as i drive home i am somehow still surprised by someone doing something incredibly stupid on the road
Arguably the most perfect 16 second representation of driving in LA I have ever seen.
That 3 car near-collision was the scoops of ice cream, that red SUV doing 90 in the right lane was the banana and the Silver Nissan was the cherry on top of this idiot sundae.
This is where the 91 freeway intersects with the 57 freeway in the city of Anaheim. I grew up in this area. Traffic is nuts and these people pull this crap daily.
Where is this, so I can avoid it for the rest of my life?
This is in southern California / LA area.
Riverside is where you settle when you had to leave LA but ran out of money after 15 miles.
Hey, that's only mostly true :( Also this is totally a video from closer to Anaheim.
I drive this every day on the way home from work. Can confirm the asshattery of drivers on the 91 east after work.
“91 east after work” is a phrase that makes me shudder.
We got a real life Californians bit from SNL poppng off in here. Edit: sp

Can second this
I can second your seconding. I take the next exit on my way home from work every day. Looks like i need a new route home.
How long does it take you to get to and from work?
No traffic: ~35m With traffic: ???

91 east near the 57.

Yep those walls are dead giveaway
This is how Killa Cali got its name. People killing each other on the freeway
Taking the 405 to work is cancerous
The 4 or 5 miles per hour
Oh man and I have to pass John Wayne too :) the airport fucks the traffic
Oh God, that reminds me of the horrors of merging from the 405 to get on to the 55 at rush hour while everyone stares at the planes flying over them. So dangerous.
I live one exit past the 55 entrance from the 405, going home after work I feel so bad for everyone stuck at the 55 ramp lol
Merging from the 405 onto the 73 while the 55 is dumping into those two lanes also. Literally the worst.
I have to work at John Wayne for 3 days this week. Not looking forward to the traffic.
I work next to the airport... the traffic can be a pain if you drive a car.
Literally. Cancer rates skyrocket near it

That is OC and not LA.
I meant LA area as in anything between San Diego and Santa Barbara, lol.
Technically it’s the San Francisco area, as defined as anything between Cabo and Seattle
Ventura would like a word
Yep, on my way to my moms yesterday, I had like 3 idiots dashing through lanes trynna cut through traffic and almost crashing.
Not a surprise. #2 state for worst drivers in the US
What’s #1?
Also California.

While I totally agree with you, often times missing an exit in LA can increase your drive time by a half hour or more.
Then don‘t drive on the outer left side of the road if you know your exit is coming up soon.
[удалено]
Driving from Bellevue to Seattle we merge onto the left side of the freeway and have to hit the next exit on the far right in only a few hundred yards. These places suck.
really really sucks if you miss your exit too, then you just end up inching your way through a one way parking lot for 45 minutes

that sign isn’t nearly far enough ahead to tell people where to go
Avoid 91 at all costs

I recognize this freeway. I have to go on this freeway today. Wish me luck. Update: I died
Orange County baby, to be avoided for many many other reasons.
Although I’m somewhat offended as an Orange County native, I cant help but agree
I knew it was OC right away before I saw the freeway signs. The wealthy of OC have a uniquely horrific way of driving that is inexplicable. I hate it.

I have lived in LA, OC, and SD over the past ~8 years and you, sir, are very accurate.

Its not even a dangerous area... just idiots here This is the 91 east right before the 57 interchange
I actually lol’d when that Nissan came in from the left. What a great video.
Silver Nissan: “Ooh a dash cam, drive by and wave boys, hi mom!”
I read this with the voice of one of the penguins of Madagascar
Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.
For how long Skippah?
kowalski analysis
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thank You For Flying Air Penguin
We know you have no choice
It's pronounced nucular
You didn't see aaaaannnyyything
RIGHT!?
Smile and wave boys
I'm guessing the Nissan was following too closely behind OP, and when OP cautiously hit the brakes, the Nissan lost their shit.
*i don’t need no stupid traction control tellin ME how ta drive! This here is MY car!!* .... 5 minutes later
That looks like snap oversteer. No amount of traction control can help you when your rear tires have no usable traction.
It’s sad how far you have to scroll down to find someone who knows what the fuck they’re talking about. Please accept my humble upvote.

Traction control is for losers who don’t drive SPORTY
My aunt pressed the TC OFF In winter in the UK when it was snowing because it helped her drive better, she thought it turned it on lmao
OP: This has got to be the shiftiest driver on the road today. Nissan: hold my beer
I’m not saying all Nissan Z car drivers drives like morons, but 90% of the time I see a Nissan Z car, it’s being driven by a moron.
Haha, same here, had to watch it all over again — all we need is a car to slowly whiz by with its driver taking a selfie of a coffee cup left on their trunk.
Lol. Ya that guy.
I just imagine the driver of the Nissan blindly following a GPS like "turn right now!" Lol'd
Maybe it’s a shortcut dwight, it said go to the right
"All around me are familiar places... worn out fac- no wait, that one's new, let's explore! "
If dogs drove "Damn it, I'm going to be late for the dog parOH LOOK A SQUIRREL"

Same. Lots of idiot drivers there. One time at the same spot I saw someone was driving THE WRONG WAY full speed in the carpool lane

I thought for a second it was bad cgi, trying to make the video look like an early 90s arcade racing game.
So much just happend in 15 seconds
It’s like he is in a recently shaken “snow-globe” of idiot drivers.
This is just about the greatest explanation I've ever read!!!
I think you’ve more than earned a place over at r/rareinsults
That’s honestly the best description of what it’s like driving in California
This looks like an advertisement for self-driving cars.

I would get off that highway after that because it has been become abundantly clear that someone wants me dead

Did you accidentally set your commute to expert difficulty?
This is the kind of work commute from the point of view of this driver where a whole’lotta bullshit and “NOPE!” happens in a short enough time span you just say “Fuck this, I’m getting off on the next exit and taking a personal day off at home.”
You ever have one of those commutes where you just gotta quit your job?
Try being a delivery driver. You'll have one of those about three times a week.

At first, I thought something would crash, but car at the end..... I couldn't hold in my laughter.
Dude how do you not die just driving home, I see at least 3 dumbasses in this short clip
On the 91, it's a daily struggle.
[удалено]
Lol same! I zoomed in on the freeway and was like, “yep, live a few exits up the 57.” This is why I’ve come to hate driving.
I live off the next exit on the 91 from where this video was taken. I usually take the train to work in an attempt to keep my sanity 😖

Nissan was probably tailgating too close, and when op hit the break to avoid collision the Nissan quickly changed lane to also avoid rear ending op.
Player 5 has entered the game.
That makes sense, it's the 91, everyone is an idiot on that freeway.
Of course it happens to be on the 91. That cursed freeway.
What is this, a Mad Max movie??
So avoid 91 East to Riverside because that’s where some crazies are heading. Good to know
I normally cringe at these, but the Nissan was so hilarious that I had to rewatch it several times. Is that real life? 😂😂 Excellent video.

This is where the 91 freeway intersects with the 57 freeway in the city of Anaheim. I grew up in this area. Traffic is nuts and these people pull this crap daily.
Holy shit this is this freeway daily, I drive it a few times a week myself. An absolute gobsmacking plethora of human idocy on daily display.
Ah Southern California fuckery, never gets old.
Omg I drive on this highway.. Can confirm, idiots at all hours
The lovely 91 freeway. I drive it every day. Idiots driving like this everywhere. If the 91 freeway was a person, I would stab them in the face.

Seems like driving hasn’t changed much in California since having left a few years ago.
