Well, next weekend just got good :D The 2013 Nitto Tire Championship offroad races got moved from Vegas to about 20 minutes away from my house
I was actually trying to get someone to go to Vegas last month to split the costs until it got cancelled :lol:

Just transported a patient going 40mph on the 110 and 101 freeways, making liberal use of the 4 ways and the "secondaries" (flashing amber lights on the back)

I'm not about to play around when my patient has a diagnosed spinal injury

Why not just use surface streets?

The patient would probably be better off with a slow gentle ride then a rapid transport. Assuming the patient is non-hypotensive and already received a loading dose of steroids at the transferring hospital.

I think that's what the OP did...40 mph on the highway is a smooth ride even in Boston.

Though I agree that I would probably stay off the highway if I could.

Freeways are the smoother option for us.

40mph in LA makes me thing the poster was being pretty aggressive for driving.

Yeah I would've preferred to avoid the highways, but unfortunately the next best surface road was a nice windy hilly road that was twice the distance and the one other time I drove it (during the day) it wasn't the smoothest of roads

So...I decided I was more comfortable holding up traffic behind me lol (for the record this was not a code 3 transport, but I was more than happy to use the amber warning lights)

During the day yeah the freeways are closer to 4 than 40 lol but at night it's a different story

That's the main reason I would never work not live anywhere near there.

Traffic is never like that even on Friday with a major holiday lol

False... between the roads and the m:censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:s, there's no such thing as a smooth ride in Boston.
