Driving against traffic has become a frequent feature of long-distance car chases, particularly in LA (where they happen approximately twice per week).

I've long suspected that practice has become commonplace because of the car chase in To Live and Die in LA.

BTW, high-speed pursuits happen between five and six thousand times a year in California.
