Answer 1

Olivia, yesterday I drove for 18 hours straight to go 300 miles.  I know how you feel.  The traffic was bumper to bumper, and I was going 5 to 10 miles an hour for a lot of the time...on an Interstate highway!  It felt like a week.  We were evacuating from New Orleans because of Gustav.  I hope the trip back will be a little faster, like 13 hours faster!

Answer 2

I live in No. California, and that is one of the reasons I hate the LA area, the freeways. I have seen freeway rush hour type traffic ant 12:00 midnight down there. People in the LA area do not know how to drive, They never use their turn signals they stop on the freeway for no reason. They slow down for no reason, no accidents on the road and they will drop from 60-65 MPH to 30 MPH. Why, beats me. They never seem to know where they are going. And they are always doing something else instead of paying attention to the road. Traffic is so bad, people do not let you scoot over to get off at an exit, even if you have your signal on. They are afraid you are just wanting to get in front of them and they will not give up their space. They are too busy gabbing on the phone or to the other people in the car.. A trip that should take you 14-20 minutes becomes hours, and when you are in the left fast lane you can not get over to get off the freeway.

I was once in the LA area, and took the surface streets just so I did not have to get on the Freeway, I could see the bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway and I was sure getting where I was going at a faster pace then they were.

Maybe you should stop playing in traffic.
