Even driving to los angeles from Orange County which is 1 hour is a MAJOR road trip for me. We got lost because we didn't merge on the right freeway and ended up in some scary as shit industrial places and it was hard to even find a gas station to ask for directions.
If you exit the wrong place in LA you could get shot if you accidentally go into gang territory in some of the ghetto neighborhoods, same in OC too in some of the ghetto areas.
I have to go on a roadtrip soon to LA to renew my passport up there at the embassy, I'm actually nervous about it... 1 hour drive is already an adventure for me, and it's only 1 hour if I actually don't get lost.
I am a "pussy driver", I'm not an aggressive driver so I get end up missing exits or merged freeways a lot because I have so much anxiety when driving... Plus people are rude a lot and don't let you go in front of them, I can only go when there's a a big space.... So I end up exiting at the wrong place and having to backtrack a lot. I always feel overwhelmed and stressed when driving.
Plus I have this phobia of dying in a car accident. That's how most healthy young people die, in car crashes. I got so scared after seeing mangled bodies and crushed vehicles, I really hate driving!!
