  1. I’m offended that Beach is offended. Must have washed up on shore. Karen that fits like a glove

  2. Probably illegals rubber necking and not paying attention on what their vehicle is doing. They also like to put heavy right input into steering before turning left in an intersection left hand turn lane.

    What is amazing with this incident is that they remained on scene.

  3. What do you get when you take the horrible drivers of the San Fernando Valley and throw them into the rural roads around Lake LA and Littlerock?

    You get some of the most dangerous roads in California.

    Be careful out there.

    • And I am offended by your last name Beach: evoking thoughts and memories of human waste being released into the Pacific Ocean from the Hyperion waste treatment plant…then washing up on the Beach.

      • Easy Karl. That has to be sarcasm. Nobody could be as weak-minded as “Karen” professes to be.

        • You won the prize for sarcasm detection! But so appropriate for someone to be triggered and offended by someone’s last name.
