As an aviator it makes me crazy when I hear about accidents like this. If it’s mechanical that’s one thing. When it’s a pilot over extending their skill seyt and possibly ratings it’s senseless and selfish to your passengers who dont know better
Cliche about old bold pilots. Anyone can get spatial disorientation. Stay ahead of the aircraft and situation
I'm not a pilot: however, I can tell you that my King Air pilot (retired F4 pilot) would have said we're not getting to this game anywhere near on time. We're landing in Burbank and wait. Fire me if you like.
Nothing worse than runway behind you, fuel on the ground, and get-their-itis.

Another option - land VNY and grab two rental cars or a van or uber .
The issue of IFR competency and currency is critical as there was potentially the option to either pickup a clearance airborne . Socal has (not sure it extends out to Camarillo) an expedited method of getting clearances when the flight is in airspace controlled by SoCal Approach (tower to tower is my recollection of the phraseology)

Over heard a conversation or two at the local saloon where a local PP described his Seneca 111 as all weather capable. apparently he was not and took out the whole family in an encounter with a squall line over AR some time back. So when the PP 'aviators' get on the soap box and preach to the choir, they might remember that the last 'post' might last past the NTSB report.
