In SoCal, rule of thumb:
If the freeway is empty and not a car in sight... there's a reason.
Also, make sure you're not the fastest person on the road. As long as someone is passing you, you're pretty much golden.
(Unless you're doing 110 and they're doing 120... then you're both screwed.)
Be prepared to pull out the checkbook and write till it hurts.
Dude, the State is broke. They're not letting ANYONE slide, now. The more folks they
catch means fewer mandatory furloughs Cali has to give the State workers. You've got civil
servants from SoCal to NoCal cheering the Chips on.
Besides... what the frig were you thinking doing a buck-ten on the 405 in the city??!!?
14 out in the boonies or the open stretch by Pendleton, maybe, but the 405 in Carson?
That's like being in a high-speed chase on TV and pulling onto the 101 during rush hour!
Ain't gonna end well.
