My close calls with ground vehicles at LAX almost always occurred on C-8 or C-7 during the transition from taxilane C eastbound to taxiway B.
Because of the extreme oversteer required during the hard right turn to keep the right main truck on the load bearing part of the pavement, most ground vehicle drivers presumed I was continuing straight ahead on taxilane C and would pull away from the stop signs on the roadway crossing C-7 or C-8 which ran parallel to B.
I used to tell my F/O's that if they saw what they felt was an imminent collision, to go ahead and apply the brakes because by the time I could react from them screaming at me to stop, it could be too late.
