Put a lighted pizza sign on your roof, then you can spend the evening speeding.

6 p.m. If you have a lighted Domino's Pizza sign on the roof of your car, it's sort of like having a flashing light siren on your car, you can spend the evening speeding. Westbound on Hillhurst, in a 25 mph zone, west of Niguel Speedway, the pizza guys speed through here constantly. Slow down, guys. Your pizza's bad enough, but your driving skills are even worse.

Danger! Walking in a crosswalk can be risky here.

5:30 p.m. A woman and two children are crossing Golden Lantern Speedway, in the crosswalk, with a walk signal, at Hidden Hills. A man turning right from Hidden Hills to Golden Lantern does not stop on the red light, and narrowly avoids hitting the three people in the crosswalk. The pedestrians have to stop in the crosswalk to let the car make its sacred turn. Welcome to the city where the car is worshipped.

A carload of kids, a phone to my head, and I'll cut you off ...

2:20 p.m. A woman in a white Denali, northbound on Moulton Speedway north of Aliso Creek is driving faster than 60 mph, swerving among cars, trying desperately to pass everyone, with her phone to her head. Soccer practice must be extremely important to this mother ... but her children's safety is not.

Downhill racer takes to the slopes ....

9:45 a.m. A black BMW eastbound on Highlands Avenue heads toward Alicia Speedway at more than 70 mph, lane drifting as if the entire road is his. It's a downhill speed racer, common on this street.

The roads are clear, so I can race ...

5 a.m. For whatever reason, a flood of motorcycles sped noisily, violating noise ordinances, for an hour northbound on Crown Valley Speedway. We feel sorry for the thousands of residents who can't sleep past dawn, or have trouble getting to sleep, when they live within earshot of the noisy speedways traversing our city. We live in a community of created speedways, for the benefit of adjacent cities, but to the detriment of our own city.

Dueling racers on Crown Valley Speedway

3:43 p.m. A black Honda and a cheesed-out Infinity are drag racing northbound on Crown Valley Speedway toward Hillhurst, violating noise ordinances with after-market exhaust that breaks every rule. Has there ever been any enforcement of road noise violations in Laguna Niguel? The problem is endemic, and the city needs to be doing their job.

I'll hit the curb while I check my lips ...

11:30 a.m. A woman driving a black Land Rover, southbound on Crown Valley Speedway, just south of Rolling Hills, is checking her lips, constantly, rubbing her finger around them, pinching them (has she just come from her trout-mouth specialist?) while she is speeding and lane drifting to pass cars, then hits the curb (luckily, a bicyclist was 100 yards ahead of her), then comes back into her lane, then grabs her phone and puts it to her head once she reaches Golden Lantern.

A very common maneuver: pass on the right in a dedicated turn lane

2:20 p.m. A young woman in a white Mercedes, southbound on Crown Valley Speedway is trying to get around the other drivers who are at the speed limit, and as she approaches Pacific Island Drive, she accelerates to more than 65 mph into the right-turn only lane, but drives straight, to bypass the legal drivers. This happens a lot at this intersection. (BTW, as we approached Crown Valley and Coast Highway, a four-car accident had Crown Valley blocked off. If she had been there a couple minutes earlier, perhaps she would have been a participant that accident).

Black Denali decides to to de-rail

6:20 a.m. Northbound on Alicia Speedway at Niguel Road, a woman (with her phone to her head) in a black Denali SUV drives into the empty left turn lane to get by the waiting cars when the through-light turns green. She has to swerve back into the driving lane across the intersection to cut-off everyone so she can speed off at over 65 mph on Alicia Speedway. Another lovely way to start the day.

I'm driving slowly while I talk on the phone ...

1:30 p.m. A man in a black Ford 150 pickup turns right from Niguel Speedway  onto Crown Valley Speedway (without stopping on the red light, of course) and then drives 35 mph northbound on Crown Valley, lane drifting, with his phone to his head and writing notes on his steering wheel with his other hand. He continues this all the way past La Paz Speedway.

Why wait when I can run a red light?

10 a.m. A woman in a burgundy Ford Explorer doesn't want to wait for the light to turn green, so she turns on a red light as she makes a left turn from Paseo de Las Colinas onto Cabot Road.

Drag racing on Crown Valley Speedway

1:20 a.m. Two cars, on Crown Valley Speedway, southbound at Club House Drive, take off from the traffic light, wheels squealing, engines roaring as they drag race all the way down the Speedway. Illegal driving, illegal noise ... plenty of issues our city officials and enforcers need to be dealing with on our streets.

The race down Crown Valley Speedway ...

11:05 p.m. Southbound on Crown Valley Speedway, north of Central Park, a white Honda SUV and a gold Lexus SUV are racing and lane drifting at 75 mph.

Bronze Honda runs a red at City Hall and swerves around two lanes of traffic

9 a.m. A young man in bronze Honda Civic, turning right from Alicia Speedway on Crown Valley Speedway at the City Hall corner, goes around the two lanes of cars sitting in the right turn lanes and, in the lane that is for through-traffic only,  he made his speedy right turn against a red light without stopping.
