    Public Spectacle - Amanda Lewis - Why Does Everyone in L.A. Drive Drunk All the Time?

    This article does not portray the true risk and cost of drunk driving.  While it does present some reasons people may decide to drink and drive, it does not present any real solutions to this extremely serious issue that plagues Los Angeles. There is a very real hit and run epidemic in our cit...

    L.A.'s Bloody Hit-and-Run Epidemic

    uberfahr You are either satirical and hilarious or extremely arrogant and callous. I'm really hoping it's hilarious!

    Victim Finds Hit-and-Run Driver

    jhvu74 @sirvaldrin2002 Great point! Motorists often fail to recognize that cyclists have a right to the road and neglect the reality that cyclists are human powered. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to clime hills, keep up with traffic, and be aware of all things around them at all time...

    Victim Finds Hit-and-Run Driver

    sirvaldrin2002  Let me break it down for you: cyclists are humans just like you, trying to get somewhere just like you.  If you truly want every cyclist to cling to the curb, write your city council members and tell them you want parking to be removed and all roads to be free of potholes....

    Victim Finds Hit-and-Run Driver

    sirvaldrin2002 catwalshak As stated earlier, which you seemingly chose to ignore, it is often safer for bicycles to take up an entire lane because cars do not have enough room to pass safely, the road conditions are poor, and a variety of other reasons. Cyclists do, in fact, have the right ...

    Victim Finds Hit-and-Run Driver

    This article is not about the unruly behavior of cyclists in Los Angeles, and it is sad and extremely callous that certain comments are made in order to derail the real conversation of a serious epidemic of hit and runs that effect individuals and their loved ones on a daily basis. Unless you...

    Victim Finds Hit-and-Run Driver

    @sirvaldrin2002 Fact: not all people who ride bikes are jerks. Fact: it is not illegal to ride in the center of the lane, regardless of time or place. Perhaps you should research the California vehicle codes before assuming cars have priority over all roads at all times. It is literally...

    Victim Finds Hit-and-Run Driver

    @coralsurf While you may have a point that all people in transit should obey traffic laws, motorcycles and bicycles are assuming far more risk on the road and are more susceptible to bodily injury based on their chosen form of transportation. It is all too common that people's first reaction to...

    Victim Finds Hit-and-Run Driver

    sirvaldrin2002 No one ever deserves to be hit with a car, and it is extremely callous that you would suggest otherwise. Especially for a reason like slowing down traffic. Would you think the driver of a car deserves to get hit for going slow? Of course not! Any person traveling on a publi...
