To Live
And Drive In L.A. -- Surviving Your Trip To The Rose Bowl By Paul
Levine
If you've been seized by the
notion to see the Rose Bowl in person, rather than watch from the comfort of your Barcalounger, here
are ten indispensable travel tips and assorted Southern California trivia.
1. TRAFFIC RULE NUMBER ONE:
Walk. Just kidding! Ninety-seven languages are spoken in Los Angeles, which means drivers
follow the traffic laws of 97 different homelands. So drive carefully and avoid rush hour, roughly 5
a.m. to midnight.
2.
ACTUAL TRAFFIC LAW: It is illegal in California to talk on a cellphone while driving
(unless you have a hands-free device). It's perfectly legal, however, for a motorcycle to blast past
your gridlocked S.U.V. on the center line of the freeway and startle you into spilling your
double-mocha soy latte.

INTERRUPT THIS TRAVEL GUIDE FOR AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: "Velcome to
Caleefoina and pleeze spend a lot of money to help balance my budget. Now, go keek a
touchdown!"
