It's not ridiculous if you read the news more often.
Last year a Canadian exited the wrong freeway. He was parking his car near a freeway exit trying to read his map. Someone carjacked and shot him.
Two years ago, there is a German tourist near Santa Monica got shot.
As I say it’s rare, but it happens. I fly out of LAX often, and I took a lot of red-eyes. I would never take certain exits on 105 at night; especially I drive a nice car.
