Taxiing in LAX is one of my "highest threats", the brief mitigation= both heads outside and on a swivel at all times.
Having had to use RTO-level braking in a 777-300 to avoid a hurtling vehicle, I completely agree.

I fly a lot to the US and although the airside driving style is “different” to, say, the UK, LAX is by far the worst place that I’ve been to. Some of the speeds used are such that it’s going to be difficult to stop even if you’re looking out...
