Um... really 99% of the time its uneventful. I've had some real dicks on the tour, but mostly people are terrific.
Driving in LA is a trip. Loads of angry horrid drivers. One typical event, if you are stopped at a light, someone will get into the right lane, and when it turns green, they punch it and cut me off. Happens all the time.
Once, when two cars cut me off and a third was going to force me to slam on my brakes, I thought, "fuck it." I continued on my way, and she sideswiped my van and I ripped the mirror off her car. Most satisfying driving moment in my life. We pulled over, and she screamed, "You ripped my mirror off!" I calmly said, "No no, 12 people saw what you just tried to do. Here is my card, if you wish to discuss this further, call me later." She never called.
I had a nasty black mark on my bus from her car, which came off with Goo Gone.
Fucking bitch.
