Newbies ruining a good thing.

My commute in Los Angeles is a fairly lonely affair, and I feel like I've done a good job training the motorists I have to share the roads with 5 days a week. I rarely, almost never, get the bird or even honked at, more often it's a smile and a wave. Then this morning I get two newbies weaving through traffic, hugging the curb just generally peaving people off. These folks are obviosly new commuters doing their best to react to the rising fuel prices, but dang talk about erasing years of built up goodwill. I won't say anything to these folks as I know it would be pointless, it just sets an inconsistent example for motorists.
