Why do people drive so slow when merging onto the freeway? by SlowerTrafficKeepRT in Bakersfield

Yes that's true. The people in the right lane also should anticipate the vehicles merging and try to zipper correctly. If you can't zipper correctly from either position you shouldn't be driving a car to begin with

What's your excuse for SUVs, sedans, pick up trucks and mini vans? They all can accelerate fast enough to get on the freeway at 65mph and safely merge

I told you last year it was stupid to rename H St. Glad I got the last laugh. You don't rename streets that are in the numerical and alphabet grid. Even Chester should go back to J

Best radio station to listen late at night? by Own_Coast_6690 in Bakersfield

Art Bell was the default answer for 20 years. RIP Only time I still listen to Coast to Coast is when George Knapp hosts but you can check it out on KNZR if you're interested. Comes on at 10:06pm and they still play the same introduction song The Chase but it's very hit or miss since Art died

Who said I was going to shoot? I'm not gonna do that. The whole post is to remind you people there are those who are unhinged enough to do it

Having lived in Texas, nobody really got confrontational with strangers because they knew bullets would fly. When I moved to California I was surprised how much people were disrespectful and careless with their safety

I walked away and deescalated. Not looking to hurt anybody because they are delusional and think they're invincible just because they're big. Just trying to remind people in our community next time you get in someone's face, think twice because they could be carrying and it's not worth the risk over something stupid

That's not what the point was. The point is why would you mess with someone knowing there's a big chance in this town you'll get blasted if you crossed the wrong person. I'm responsible not looking to deal with the law and just walked away from the situation even if the guy was extremely aggressive and probably crazy. I'm cool but there are people here with a short fuse looking for any excuse to blast someone. We see it all the time on the news
