It isn t true, of course, but you ll feel so good. I m sure you ve heard it where you presently live. If they smile and still tell you to have a nice day, score him or her a zero and tell them whatever you feel inclined to tell them, according to your own sincerity. The freeways in L.A. are notorious and live up to their reputation. I am certain that the man who designed them was stoned out of his mind and just bent his model whenever and wherever he felt.
Traffic suddenly stops dead for no reason and then speeds up for a while for the same no reason.
Los Angelenos will slow down to a crawl to look at such exciting events as someone getting a ticket or a disabled car awaiting help. Most of the time, nothing is moving. To prepare yourself for Freeway Horror, I suggest you pull into a local used-car lot and park between cars and then sit there for an hour or so. If you come from a city that has a subway, you will be happy to learn that L.A. recently built one. But, oh yes, Virginia, there truly is a subway and it cost billions, and it is beautiful.
