Just about everyone goes through a bad patch at some time in their life. Some people dwell in a bad patch until that glimmer of motivation shows up to spur them forward, others just don’t care and wait for the game controller to endow them with a win … but that is not very likely. You have the choice to accept the world as it is and know that a little shaping up and organization is necessary – or – you can live without accepting any responsibility and become unrecognizable to anyone including yourself. Like every habit or personal goal, change doesn’t happen all at once and you won’t realize it until you can look back and reflect AFTER it’s happened.
There are circumstances where you can avoid trouble by simply not being behind the wheel of a car. Think about all the laws that have come into effect that cast suspicion on a person driving a car. What’s your best shot at going unnoticed by a roving law enforcement vehicle or another mistrusting driver (a Karen or a Darren or a non-Byron)? There really are people who are fed up with drivers who completely ignore the existing rules of the road and will report your bad behavior if you anger them enough. Talking on your phone, playing loud music, poor driving, poor vehicle mechanical operation are all things that make you visible, standing out from the crowd is NOT what you want.

Right Place or Wrong Place
Several people have problems with rules of the road and rules of the society in general. It’s very much like coloring in a coloring book – some people like coloring outside the lines most graduate to the order within the lines. Your opinion may well be that you are minding your business and the none-of-their business crowd need to back off. But as a driver or social participant you should be aware of your surroundings and the conditions that need to be met by any reasonable society member.
Things to avoid while you are in California:
- Shouting or yelling into a phone. If you are walking, you may find someone who takes your issues personally and gives you a comment, a gesture, or a shove. You are now becoming a public disturbance. If you are driving, the law is to be alert and not distracted. Anyone who can hear you would be able to give a statement that you were not paying attention to the road. Driving while distracted carries a minimum first offense fine of $200 minimum.
- Extremely loud music with enough bass to vibrate your space and other vehicle’s. VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27000-27007, you are limited to 50ft of sound if you are not an emergency vehicle. To everyone inside that perimeter, you are just a noise nuisance and that’s why you might be pulled over. If you’re walking or setup with your speakers in a public space, you can be held to a similar noise code depending on where you are. Most cities have park rules, and they include noise.
- Getting into a name-calling, cursing and near physical argument with someone at a bus stop or park bench. Most people don’t want to be involved, but if they witness someone harassing another person in a public space can prompt a cell phone call to the authorities as sure as a video of the outcome. Get unreasonably noisy or being abrasive to just about everyone usually means loaded, high, or under the influence.
- Being among your friends and calling out or whistling at members of the opposite or same sex who are with their friends. Not stopping after they have ignored you; following or taunting them as they continue to ignore you. Harassment is a personal violation of another person’s rights. Put the shoe on your other foot and ask if you were the subject, would you want to be treated this way?
- Street racing anywhere on a public street, alley, or highway, freeway. Up to $1,000 fine for spectating or participating. It’s all fun until you get caught. Jail is an option for multiple racing or speed related citations, and anytime if there are injuries resulting from the incident.
Compliance is a tough thing, but it’s part of the life game that you entered. You can resist, but you get to do that in your own space or go somewhere that celebrates you as you want to behave. Go to a rock concert or a club with a high-volume DJ or go to a sporting event where your noise blends with the rest. Everywhere else might consider you a disturbance, so why not go to where you are one of hundreds doing the same thing.
Getting somewhere “cool” is always a trick. Assuming you go by car, do you know where the vehicle’s current insurance and registration are? Are you driving a vehicle with the owner’s permission? Is this vehicle currently registered? Are all the parts like brake lights and turn indicators working? These should be standard mode of operation questions that most people don’t even think about it when they proceed to the road. Then the real challenge begins:
- Turn your phone off, set it to speaker and mount it on a stand, or connect it to the car’s blue tooth system. Some people put them on the back seat or out of reach.
- California Vehicle Code Section 27363 requires any child under the height of 4’ 9” be restrained by a seatbelt or both seatbelt and booster seat in REAR seat of a vehicle.
Infants (2 years or under) must be in an approved child-seat mounted on the back of the driver’s or passenger’s seat facing the rear of the car.
- Fasten your own seat belt so that you don’t have to find it as you are being pulled over.
That’s the passing point for going out on your errand run, your commute to work, or your “me” or “me and my pals” time:
- Keep your eyes moving between mirrors and have the sound turned low enough to hear outside sounds, like sirens.
- Don’t turn your body to address passenger questions, you should be able to hear them with a normal conversation voice and they can lean forward to hear answers.
- Keep your hands on the wheel, so you’re not tempted to use your fingers no matter what you are thinking.
- Move with the flow of traffic, obeying lane closures and signs.
It isn’t that difficult to blend in and if you are complying with the laws and have done all these things you won’t stick out amidst the crowd. Let the person speeding by or the guy shaking the road with this bass speakers be the target for the ground law-enforcement officers. Have more fun laughing at them as they are pulled over then being them.
Change Your Luck
It’s not unusual for a person to think that there are storm clouds following them, always ready to cast a quick storm over them to dampen hopes of getting ahead or threaten survival with “wrong place” situations. Believe it or not, there are avoidable conditions and avoidable contacts that can help reduce the bad luck aura. Yes, sometimes we all get tired of the headaches brought about by situations we put ourselves in … and once they are over, you need to seriously ask yourself whether you want to just keep driving in the same lane of a problematic loop. There are plenty of ways to deflect the bad luck without cutting more time out of your life’s time.
