What I didn’t learn quickly enough was to take side streets in LA. Driving in LA is slow death – for you and your car. A drive only 5 miles away can take over an hour, bumper to bumper, with some douchbag stopping to park, take a left turn, or simply trying to squeeze himself in ahead of you. For all the traffic congestion, no one in the government decided that left turn signals were a good idea. FYI – you run the red light. This is so popular, police don’t usually hand out tickets for this traffic violation.
So you take side streets as much as possible. This saves loads of time and keeps your mental health intact.
NO SAINTS IN L.A.
