Speaking of karma . . .

Last year I'm going to Jerry's Deli in Woodland Hills, just past the intersection of Topanga and Ventura. The left turn is into a signal controlled driveway. I'm heading east. Traffic going west is a bit heavy. I get my chance to turn left, into Jerry's driveway and start to cross the traffic in the other lane.

Everything is clear, but some jerk driving a small private-school bus decides I have offended her and speeds up to try to make my turn close and teach me a lesson. I complete my turn, but speed up slightly to avoid the bus, scraping the front end on the driveway.

And then I hear a crash. The westbound traffic had stopped for the light at Ventura and Topanga, and the school bus driver was paying attention to me, not the traffic in her lane. She hit the car stopped just after the driveway intersection and it hit the car in front of it.

While it was satisfying that the bad driver got in an accident, I did feel sorry for the two innocent victims who were completely stopped. I didn't wait around to see what happened.
