Everybody brings this sort of thing up, but since I live, work, and 
go to school in the same place (Caltech) I almost never have to drive
during rush hour, and do most of my driving around town between 9 
p.m. and 4 a.m. As such, I have the delicious opportunity to savor the
freeways sans traffic most of the time. In the absence of traffic,
travel time decreases amazingly. I made it from my parents' house in
West Long Beach to a movie theatre in Corona Del Mar I had never been
to and had to look for in less than half an hour without going above
75 on the 405. But I can attest to the fact that in the absence of
traffic and with a well-maintained car, 75 is a perfectly safe speed
on the 405.
