It's socially unacceptable for abled bodied people to park in handicap spots, so that's fined heavily. But, as a society, we don't really care about texting or cellphone use while driving, so it's deemed a lesser infraction. We're way beyond driving laws having any true reflection upon safety.

Over the side in the Esses
Loud sound woke me at around 4:45 this morning. Soon thereafter, two LAPD copters were overhead at the top of the Esses with their searchlights on wide beam.
It is now just after 7:30 am and they are still hovering, now without their searchlights on. News copters have joined them. This morning's news reported the car as Charlie Sheen's car. It had gone over the edge or was pushed over the edge they said. At first all occupants were accounted for, later the driver seemed to be missing. This news is not confirmed as yet. They went to Charlie Sheen's house and he reported the car stolen. I hope all is well with Charlie Sheen. Channel 7 reported the incident at or near Java. It appears it actually occured a couple hundred yards east of Java in the Esses. More news is forthcoming as Mulholland is closed while an investigation is under way.

Chris, what was the loud sound... the helicopters coming over on the way to the Esses, or something else... a driver losing control of his Benz followed by its rolling, etc.?

It was odd enough to get me out of bed and look out the window to get a view of the nearby Esses on Mulholland. Then I saw and heard the Police Helicopters with their massive beams on. I knew something was up, so the TV was turned on to check out the news. |

Maybe a small tremor... or military jets a few miles offshore.
Hmmm... this report I just ran across said it was a Bimmer... _________________ Troubled actor Charlie Sheen was woken up to shocking news that his SUV had been stolen and crashed down a 100-foot cliff. Sheen first knew something had happened when he was woken at 4am on Friday by operators of his car alarm system telling him his car had crashed. Sheen reportedly then alerted his own security team who discovered his BMW SUV had been stolen. Officials later found the SUV at the bottom of a 100-foot cliff off Mulholland Drive. Los Angeles Fire Department Erik Scott said 32 Los Angeles firefighters including two helicopters were involved in the search-and-rescue mission. An infrared scanner was also used to search for any victims at the crash scene but so far none have been found. Police are still investigating and hunting for a suspect.

Euro Sunday
While waiting for company
 , I downloaded the photos from the last two Euro Sundays now being held at the Northridge Mall after everyone was chased out of the Mall at Topanga and the 101. That's a whole 'nother story.

Wonder if the payments and the insurance got to rubbing to gather and caused it to go over the edge....
