Yes, but John, sometimes Sepulveda can be faster than the 405, especially
between Wilshire and 101 during rush hour.  So he might want to take
Sepulveda and get on the 405 later.  He could also just take Sepulveda
all the way down and completely bypass the 405.  Or, as a last resort,
he could get a stretch limo, a few cases of beer, and some good friends and
not care which route he takes or how long it takes to get there!

Just my $0.02.
