Wonder if excessive speed was influenced by car ads glamorizing dangerous driving.


Plus they make fake “natural” replications of off road driving spots so as to not break environmental rules but are clearly promoting others to go out and destroy actual nature spots with reckless abandon. Anything for a buck :/


The CHP has been increasing Enforcement on Creston Road for months now but people still drive like it’s a way out of LA.
