That happened to me in SF/Mountain View. I was down there for an interview. I'd never visited the region before. It's like Mad Max on the freeways.

At a red light a woman decided she wasn't going to wait four cars back. Instead she just pulled over the curb, drove over lawns and headed down the road. No honking, just plowing across property to skip a light. We caught up to her at the next red light.
