Road Rage Without A Gun
Under a little-known loophole of the California Vehicle Code -- one that was designed primarily to get unsafe elderly drivers off the road -- anyone can file a complaint against any driver for whatever perceived infraction they want. Didn't signal before you made that lane change? Not going fast enough? Someone thinks you're ugly? You're the wrong ethnicity? Got an IMPEACH BUSH sticker on your bumper? With a license-plate number, perhaps a bit of colorful elaboration and no proof or witnesses whatsoever, it's shockingly simple for someone to commit what's essentially a sort of bureaucratic road rage -- vengeance via inconvenience. You could lose your license, and in Southern California, that means you could lose your life. |
