Another set of Friday Insight questions from LA Blogs.

  • How many hours a week are you stuck in your car?

Probably six or so. Maybe more once you count in random errands. Not much more, though.

  • What music is in your car, right now?

UNKLE - Psyence Fiction

Over the course of the day today I listened to:

DJ Andy Smith - The Document II Jim Bianco - Handsome Devil Saucy Monky - Celebrity Trash

  • What do you do while stuck in traffic? Eat? Sing? Primal scream?

Usually my time in the car is my time to call people. I consider myself very good at driving while talking on the phone.

  • If you could give citations to other drivers for bad behavior, who/ what would you ticket?

People who go slow in the carpool lane. Don't ruin it for everyone. If you want to go slow there are other lanes for that.

  • What's your favorite place/freeway to drive in LA?

The carpool ramp between the 110 and the 105 that sweeps up into the sky and gives you a great LA vista.

  • What's your least favorite?

Anywhere on the 405.

  • What's the craziest thing you've ever seen another driver do?

Ummm... Apparently nothing all too crazy. I'm having a bad time thinking of anything.

Actually, the other day I was driving home and a pickup truck had a bunch of wood in the back. It accelerated after a light turned green and basically half the wood came off the back. The guy obviously knew -- you could see him deciding what to do. He ended up just keeping on driving.

  • What's the craziest thing you've ever seen left on the side of the road?

Maybe I don't spend enough time on the freeways or pay attention to the shoulder too much. I suck at this question.
