21. I live in the Bay Area

Yeah, some dudes on bikes are annoying. I am a motorcycle funeral escort, so I see A LOT of dumb shit on the road. TBH, white dudes in trucks are f'ing terrible in the Bay Area (I am white and have a truck, so not stereotyping). The real issue though is the lack of enforcement of hands free laws. I've seen people taking videos, on Facebook/Twitter, etc. Rarely are there CHP out and the few times I've seen them, most of the time, they're just sitting off the side of the road looking at their crotch (I suspect playing on their own phone)

I think the CHP is going through a 'quiet quitting' phase.
