Vally Kamikaze

Tho'w you can see the common Vally kamikaze on other parts of the country ,ther's nothing like the skills represent by the southern Cal. Valley kamikaze.
The valley area mostly consider as the area , let say , from E. L.A , to the foot hills ,
by transportation drivers , it will be , on I-5 & I-15 , north of the Scales Houses .
on I-5 , south of the Valley fair.
& on I 15 , south of the I-215 split.

The Valley kamikaze will be on one of the most far left lanes , cruising along with traffic , the car - mostly a bit up one , or a fast & furious ,or a small foreign one, but not always.
Then by a drop of a dime , the break lights will come on , and the car will fly through 4 or 5 lanes of traffic and take the next exit ramp , barely slowing down , and just missing the yellow line , the most amassing thing is , that all the rest of the traffic will not slow down , hit the breaks or move over , it almost like they expect the kamikaze to fit in.
it always make my day watching , and expecting the valley kamikaze ,they are so talented , it like there's nothing to loose .

I see that kind of driving every day.
Atlanta, Ga comes to mind 1st.
except there they don't look just close there eyes and drive.
Everywhere there are those who will drive like **ll
(have to be # 1 in line)
someday they will be # 1 in line and it will be to late for them and the others they kill along the way.

What really bothers me is the 'crotch rockets' that usually hang in groups of at least 4 that fly in the hammer lane around curves. Very loud, and scare the snot out of you when they pass....can't hear them until they do.

Was almost to Bordentown a few weeks back, and a band of 6 of them passed us. Traffic was light for a Saturday, but these things were Buell's....Harley's crotch rocket. Very loud and very scary. To top it off, some of these idiots don't wear helmets.

I've picked up body parts from highways before. These dunderheads are making me think I may do it again some day.

I've seen some of those Kamikazes. What I hate most is the driver (young people mostly) who fly's past me at a very fast speed and barely misses the front end of my truck when they cut back over into my lane. It scares the fire out of me every time and it's not going to be a pretty sight if one of them cuts back over just a little too soon. :(
