Driven, at times, to distraction

Re “Shut up and drive,” Opinion, July 31

I know we at times encounter individuals who are ugly and unpleasant to deal with on the road, but we have to take the opinionated bumper-sticker view with a different approach.

This is L.A.; everyone is craving attention. Whether it’s a phase, a belief or a right, people want to be heard.

Even though at times we could get the finger, the look, the “F”-off attitude, we have to look the other way and let it fly.

L.A. is a dangerous place to take one’s reaction to heart.

Besides, “Didn’t your mother teach you not to stare?”

I also am a bumper-sticker fan. My favorite is, “There are good people, and bad people. The good people decide which is which.”
