Ken Skaggs
- Author, Educator and
Big City Driver. For six years, his monthly column
in Ten
Four Magazine has single-handedly changed the way people
drive in the Los Angeles area.
Ask any trucker who has experienced traffic jams in all major
cities how the humongous Los
Angeles Metro Area compares to New York, Chicago, Atlanta and
Dallas. In almost every big city,
people drive as if to cram their car into a space that isn't
there, which causes traffic to
jam. Los Angeles traffic on the other hand, knows how to keep
space in front and keep it moving.
Los Angeles has always been a trendsetter to the rest of the
Nation, and learning to drive
in heavy traffic is another area where they did it first. Read
the articles that made the difference here.
