Very little can be done on this stretch of 101, which I drive many, many times a year. There are signs all over the place posting speed limits, LED-animated signs posting your speed (south of the Peg House) and reminding you to slow down. If people don’t pay attention and slow down, the accident is their own responsibility. Last time I drove this, a yoyo in a red Mustang sat on my tail as I drove about 5 mph over speed limit, until I got fed up and pulled over. At the Cunningham exit, I was happy to see that he’d been pulled over by CHP. Hope he got a YUGE fine! Hahahahahah.

The roads are wet this morning. You’d think that would slow people down a bit, but . . . . . . .

If only people drove better cars, germans know what they are doing . I never have cell reception around there so not sure why folks would be on their phones other then playlists or checking time

Yeah, they’re sweet vehicles except for every-time you take it in, it’s 750 to 1100 bucks…..and there’s always something stupid failing on them like a module or some solenoid you need to remove major parts just to get to. No thanks

Yeah that area from north of Laytonville to Confuson Hill is the death trap. Can’t they declare it a “Safety Zone” and double the price of moving violation tickets? Then put in a checkpoint for driver intoxication (drunk or stoned) and just really hammer it for couple years? Morons are driving like idiots in this area, passing in bad spots and just acting like impatient, spoiled brats. This is a serious part of the road.
