About the Book

“The freeway system of Southern California is one of the largest and most complex in the world and becoming more so every year. It is clogged with traffic; in some areas almost twenty-four hours a day. And for many, new to the area, it can be a scary, unnerving experience, trying to navigate through its seemingly endless and labyrinthine maze of many differently numbered freeways with their connecting ramps and roadways. it is no cinch; even for natives, many of whom at times prefer to use regular surface streets. Can you imagine what might happen to an inexperienced driver trying to find their way in this maze in bad weather? This is a story of one such hapless individual, caught in such a dilemma and all the resulting adventures. Absolutely incredible! Breath-taking! Yes indeed, truly-----Amazing!”
