    LA traffic. Blah. NYC traffic is the "best". No room for error on the Cross Bronx.

    Na I probably haft to cut the film and make shorter, because it just looks like another bumper to bomber seen. After rewatching it, I had to shut it off before I got to the objective.


    The objective would be at the end of the film right.

    I watched the video in it's entirety. Other than seeing you put on display to the world that you aren't maintaining at least a 6 second following distance and your post talking about "blowing by" someone as if it were a competition, I'm not sure I really see your overall point regarding how to safely negotiate traffic. IMHO the "right" way to get through LA traffic is to see how few times you have to apply the brakes, give room and keep a steady speed, and flow along about 1-2 mph slower than the rest of traffic to continuously create room in front of you.

    It isn't a competition. There are no "winners", except for all the folks that make it safely to their destination.

    So you got by a truck in the next lane, that slowed down more than your lane did.


    Well, that was time well spent, I must say.

    Of course your not going to see the objective cause you to nil of knowledge, your comprehension and ability to retain would be to shallow to see it. Condo seen it and understood it right off. As he stated ,some will haft to learn the hard way. I guess you can expect it to just fly over the head of a few wen your dealing with a bunch of truck drivers right.
    Done been around them to long I guess.

    Tonydude see's it right Tony ?????? Or do you? Lol.

    Guys dont sweat it, dont matter, if it does or not. just trying to do a service. I guess just enjoy the film. I got flashed by some chick early on. One little hotty I can tell you. Beaver shot

    Lipton arnt you the guy who got all smurky with me on the vikingswen thread. when you said you couldn't find the video.
