I hardly drive my car these days due, especially during rush hour traffic. I bet that's everyday, every hour every time I'm on the freeway or in a large street? Plus, those watched intersections scare me.

How often do you drive your car in Los Angeles? If you're going to a distant location or an area heavily occupied by cops, do you prefer a cab?

A more narrowed down question would be "How often do you use transportation other than a car to go anywhere more distant than 100 yards?"

I don't get the connection between cops and driving?

In any case I drive everyday. If the train ran to Orange county on my schedule I would probably take that. But it doesn't, so I don't.

Either he thinks places with cops must be dangerous, or he himself is dangerous and doesn't want to get busted?

People are randomly pulled over by cops everyday, which is why I hardly drive.

I don't get it, is it because of dwb? Otherwise why would cops pull people over without a cause?

Cabs are way overpriced here in LA County and in SO California in general. I use Metro to get around. Not perfect but beats the headaches you drivers have to contend with.

You work in OC too? Metrolink needs more service for those of us who live in LA and work in OC area. It's a shame that the schedules are so limited and does not meet the needs of a majority of reverse commuters.
