The one time I drove in LA it was bumper to bumper stopped traffic. The only thing moving was the motorcycles with 'their right to drive in between cars.'
I can imagine it gets awfully fast when people can finally get moving-like a cocaine fueled zombie mob!
I have driven in those FAST, bumper-to-bumper conditions on an interstate at both 70' and 90 - very nervous for my family because I usually drive small cars. {the ole civic gets 26mpg @ 90, the flatbed, I can only pass 4 to 7 gas stations before refueling; ain't scared in the flatbed-they are!}
That said, I can see myself doing the same thing-no pass-judgement here.
This :burnout: is a heritage we loosing.
