Horns got honked. No one was injured in the making of this story, and no cars were harmed. A few feathers were ruffled however. Despite the 20mph speed limit here it is a dangerous intersection!
Ahhh, nothing endears folks in other states to California drivers more than said California drivers carrying on like idiots in our states. Saw two of them today DWI (Driving While Idiots) and one very dangerous one yesterday, in a Porsche 911, doing about 75 mph in a 35 mph zone, who almost rear-ended me because I changed lanes (I know, how rude of me!), and he zoomed up behind me, also changing lanes.

They need to re-institute the Oregon Border Patrol, to keep them crazies at bay...
