Hey I'm getting ready for a road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles. Is it ok for me to travel alone? I dont

Question

want to run into crazies. Any tips? thanks!

Answer 1

Fatigue and sleep deprivation are far more likely to harm you than some nut job.  But plan your hotels in advance (so you don’t go looking for one in the dark) and keep your mace handy.

Chicago huh?  So I take it you have an Illinois tag on your car?  That’s good because nothing screams “victim” in So Cal louder than a single chick driving on an LA freeway with a horrified expression and white knuckles,  with say a Kansas or Oklahoma plate!   Boy those are funny !!

Angelinos go out of their way to cut such drivers off, just for fun!

I take it you’ve driven in LA before?   If not consider entering town early on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

Good luck !

PS our gas is darn near $4.00 now

Answer 2

keep to yourself and do not travel at night and keep a cell phone with you.only stop to get gas  where there are plenty of people. be safe,  and have a good trip.
