      I find drivers in LA are pretty courteous for the most part. I was in Los Angeles about a month ago and really saw only one aggressive driver and he had Arizona plates, I find drivers to be much more aggressive in the San Francisco Bay Area. As far as driving in New Zealand or the UK, I would be scared of turning onto another road and, by habit, reverting to driving on the right hand side of the road.

    For future reference turn signal, indicators, will be between the steering wheel and driers door, regardless of which side the wheel is on. Before indicators existed the drivers hand out the window was the indicator. That's why it's in that spot. Also on the fuel gauge face by the pump symbol will be an arrow pointing to which side the fuel fill is on.

      He just said "largest", which can also refer to population. If that was the case, he would be right about Los Angeles County be the largest. He didn't specifically mention area or population, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

    I grew up in L.A. I wish you guys could see what it used to be. I left 12 years ago, and It’s nothing like the place I grew up in now. I have so many good memories, but I could never live there again. It’s so sad to see what it’s become. I remember Disneyland being such a magical place, there was always something fun to do, and I could walk around the city as a teenager without a worry. It used to be green too, which it hasn’t been for many years. I got engaged to my wife on Venice beach, about where you guys were standing. I wish my kids could have had the same experience I did…

      Santa Susannah Park, The Knolls, Corriganville Park in Simi Valley were mind blowing experiences to someone from flatlands desert Texas.
