Fasten your seatbelts at the red lights (An Oakland tale)

If you’ve ever driven through Oakland, maybe you just skated by (no pun intended). But this is a collection of the most lawless drivers on the planet. Let’s break it down as it pays to play in this Town.
Take into consideration most people aren’t sober. You have people passing around joints, you’ve got blunts in the ash tray, you’ve got people 2-3 shots in, people on prescriptions. You’ve got people treating their car like a throw-a-way- because it is. A lot of stolen cars that get trashed and then the driver is onto the next venture. A lot of times it may feel like you’re on the set of a movie because of what looks like special effects. There’s a car flipped over on its back, a car up against a light pole, you’ve got cars flipped on their side with the wheel still spinning. I have come across fresh accidents where the occupants are working on making their escape. You got to just keep going and mind your own business around here. It’s a whole other game, as I said its lawless and it pays to play. 580 is like mariokart. You have people spinning out and then recovering back into their lane. You’ve got road rage taking place where people might as well be throwing banana peels. Youve got yoshi trying to run you off the road meanwhile peach is passing you in her Prius thats roaring because its missing its catalytic converter. Best of luck to you if you decide to take the plunge and drive through the Town. The land where red lights are a suggestion.
