Really? Do you really think Kym is sitting on information and not sharing it? How much money are you paying Kym to update this information you are demanding of her?

i interpreted your post as a demand. Maybe you meant it as a polite request. My apologies if it was the latter…

Looks like a polite request from someone that is pretty concerned and stressed, such as a loved one may be out there. Chalk the context up to the nature of short internet comments.

Dan, I’m going to repeat myself here. The highway isn’t deadly. It’s the humans who are deadly.

This narrow winding mountain road certainly does not help!!! I agree a lot too many people, who don’t know this road, drive waay too fast on it!!! It seems to have gotten worse this year especially!!!

Bet people are driving faster trying to make up time from the construction. Only a minute or two at each flagger. Mix this with people driving slower admiring the landscape.

“driving slower admiring the landscape.”, you mean being the ultimate pricks! I like how there are the dumbasses that like to control the traffic on 36. Going 35 mph and speeding up on the broken yellow so the person that just wants to go the speed limit, can’t pass. F@cking idiots. I’m new to 36, only 20 years under my belt, but this year has to be the most f@cked bunch of drivers I have ever witnessed.

This^^!! I have a dash cam, getting ready to start sending in videos and license plate #’s to CHP. I don’t speed, and I’m a extremely safe driver. Never had any tickets of any sort, nor any accidents EVER and was in EMS for 13 years driving these roads at high speeds for my job. I naturally am comfortable and safe going faster than some others deem safe (and I repeat, I keep it at or under the speed limit, though I must confess the last few weeks I’ve had to go faster than I like to get around these A-holes on the few passing lanes that exist). It is none of these road nannies business to decide how anyone else should drive, and if a driver is truly dangerous, all you might be doing is making them drive worse and take even more dangerous chances to get around you which will likely kill you too. There are lots of turn outs!! Please people, use them!!

Please do so. These people are creating extremely unsafe situations. I know they are doing it on purpose, because
1- who goes 35 and then when there is a broken yellow line, they speed up to 60 or so.
2- they look at you in the mirrors. They make sure you see them looking at you.

I know at least one of you dipshits that drives this way is reading this. You may think you are cool, being a good citizen, trying to save lives, but in fact you suck and are causing unsafe situations. Drive whatever speed YOU feel is safe, don’t think for the driver behind you, just pull over in one of the MANY turnouts available for you to use and let the driver pass. Most times I’m just trying to go the speed limit and you feel like you need to govern my speed. Why the frack are you concerned about my speed??????????? So fracking annoying. You people truly SUCK!

Paul Andersen Alioshin passed away on 9/17/16 at 10:13pm. The Family is so grateful the incredible roadside help. In fact, witnesses called his wife at hospital and even came to visit. The injuries were instantly fatal but he remained on life support until family was 150% sure there was no cognitive return. Thank you for your kind thoughts. He was in a vintage 1960 Fiat Abarth that couldn’t even go 60 miles per hour but it was a blind corner and he was too tight and over steered to correct. THANK YOU to the unknown motorcycle riders who flipped the car over to help. Please feel free to contact me. THANK YOU to the known car drivers who stopped and used satellite phone because no other phones had reception.
