I’ve been to LA about 5/6 times and have driven on some of the mountain roads - Mullholland Drive, Malibu Canyon Road - and I do not like heights and these roads are fairly terrifying. Not quite passing out but definitely the most afraid I’ve been when driving.

But I rarely see anything about these roads being scary or difficult to drive? I did a short search on here and couldn’t find anything other than posts about the “scenic” drives and how beautiful they are (which the views are incredible).

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t like these roads? I guess if I drove on them every day I’d get used to them - I’m guessing that happens to most locals.

Also is there any way from Calabasas to Malibu without going through / on the sides of the mountain?

I like driving on the PCH and the road to Malibu / Pepperdine, etc doesn’t bother me at all.

tl;dr Some CA roads terrify me but don’t seem to bother others?
