I’m not finished yet.
Look at this official Bay Area Air Quality Management District staff car. What powers it? Gasoline. Evil, evil gasoline.
Now let’s leave aside the half-assed parking job directly in front of the latest Polk Great Streets Complete Streets “Improvement” Meeting. Oh wait, let’s not. Parallel parking involves being parallel, right? Work on that, BAAQMD. And should you have left your ass hanging over the official SFMTA red zone? Have you no respect for The Law, BAAQMD?
Hey BAAQMD, where’d you come from to get to the corner of Bush and Polk? Tell me and I’ll then tell you which crappy SFMTA bus line you all could have used to get to the meeting. I myself came up Sutter from the office ’cause it’s relatively flat. See? I’m loaded with info!
Conveniently using one of the many parking spaces it wants to eliminate in the Polk Corridor. Let’s call this shot The High Cost of Free Parking:

Hey BAAQMD! Do you pay the meters when you park you gasoline-powered cars about town on the weekends? I think we had a big deal about this issue just last year, right? Oh no, you just leave the meter flashing EXPIRED EXPIRED while you tend to your bidness for hours? OK fine.
Oh well.
The BAAQMD isn’t an Air Quality Management program, it’s a jobs program.
It’s a jobs program for the people who work for … the BAAQMD.
Just saying.

It’s uncanny.
Prius drivers are pretty bad to start with, so Toyota should have taken steps to make sure that they’d be aware that their headlights are not on.
Toyota didn’t.

The problem with the Prius drivers is that they feel entitled to do what they want when they want PLUS they generally do their outrageous acts slowly.
As here, on Kearny. The actions of a pushy Ferrari confused this Prius driver, who entered the intersection about a second after his/her light went red. The driver then proceeded across the street s-l-o-w-l-y only to chirp the brakes in a panic stop in the middle of the crosswalk on the far side of the intersection:

Later on, the driver just sat there with the brake lights off, which I don’t get either.
Prius drivers, you aren’t a part of the solution, you’re a part of the problem.
Take the HOV stickers off the corners of your ride and try to pay attention to the road.
Perhaps you could crack your windows to be more in touch with your environment?
Perhaps you could carpool, you know, with other people, if you want to drive in the carpool lane?
Perhaps you could save radio listening and phone talking for the freeway?
Just asking.
In closing, Prius drivers are terrible.

Hey look, it’s a Google Driverless Car recently spotted on Harrison by a San Francisco resident:
Via mwill140
Wow, 300,000 miles without a single accident - do you think that record compares well with the drivers of the SFMTA MUNI DPT?

[UPDATE: Hey look, Carstache fans! You made the list.]
But other than that, s/he seemed to drive better than the average Prius driver, so that’s, you know, a mitigating factor:

It’s not your fault
Wouldn’t the Google Bus have been better off on 24th? I think so.
And hey, didn’t former Supervisor Bevan Dufty meet with area NIMBY’s to iron things out a half-decade ago?
I think so. Actually, I know so. It looked like this:
But the wealthy, white, wizened NIMBYs of Noe still weren’t satisfied.
Oh well.
I hope you’re happy, NIMBIES! Look what you made Google do.
(Or maybe the driver just got lost. You’d think he’d have a map with no-go areas marked out.)
(Do Googlers Google on Sundays? Not that I know of, but they go on fun field trips from time to time, wine tastings and the like, I hear.)
I’ll tell you, Google prolly hasn’t been this embarrassed since that federal cop busted the Maps Car in the Presidio.
Here’s the chase, recorded by Google itself:
And here’s the bust, apparently for not getting a permit from the Presidio Trust after the Presidio Trust told Google it would need a permit:
All right, let’s be careful out there, Google!
