Well, it would certainly be different in LA than in rural America where I don't think there would be any particular traffic circumstances, like rush hour, that would raise the odds of accidents. We don't have HOV lanes, we don't have lane splitting, and we don't have as many people in a hurry to get someplace. I know I was in Cali twice last year, once on a motorcycle and once on a car, and both times I wondered if it would be worth it riding a motorcycle out there everyday. Never seen people change lanes like they do out there. Here people move ahead and then move parallel into an open spot. There people moved on a 45 degree angle and CREATED an open spot. We still have a large percentage of distracted drivers per population though engaged in texting or talking on cell phones.
Here I think dawn and dusk and deer pose a serious threat for motorcyclists.
