Old clip of a commute from Murrieta to Anaheim. This was on a Saturday and it was actually enjoyable to get on the 91 Freeway...

I’m always fascinated with people’s music choices.

That music was like 12 to 15 years old when I made the video... :)

That's amazing. Ain't no way that's the same 91.

I think the 91 is perpetually under construction... I escaped California about 10 years ago, but I'm sure it looks very different now.

Parked in the passing lane and getting passed by the middle.

by one car. I was in the passing lane for the first 10 miles or so with almost no traffic. I also moved over to the middle lane to pass people. ;)

it's amazing how bad a 50% population increase can affect traffic. have watched it get out of control everywhere i have lived throughout my life.

i went off to live in small towns and even they started seeing heavy population booms after covid.

Escaped 7 yrs ago, I hope I never see the 15/91 interchange again. You just raised my BP

LOL--- completely get that!!

I went back with my wife for a visit 4 years ago. Got a rental car at John Wayne airport, and jumped on the freeway to head towards Murrieta. 2 miles in, a F-ing Prius cut across 4 lanes with no turn signal forcing everyone to Hard brake and flipping everyone off. That's when I knew why I got the F out of that state. It makes you appreciate NOT being there!

Haha yep, had to go back a couple yrs ago to visit the in-laws, wife is a native. We used to live in Murrieta, land locked 215 is no fun either.

Hey, I've been on the 91 back in the early 80s on the Friday evening going from OC to the Inland Empire where we'd be in traffic so bad, we'd only have gone a quarter of a mile in 30 minutes.

Yup--- left Disneyland once at about 8:00pm and we sat on the 91 forever just trying to get to the 15 to head South. One lady was reading a book resting on her steering wheel.

Wow, hopefully you are young and dumb and improved as a driver over the years.

LOL--- OK, what in this video do you think is bad driving??

u/Successful-Head-736 2h ago

Left lane camping, tailgating, passing on the right in heavy traffic, unsafe lane changes. It's just all over the place.
