Probably proceeding
Highway 1 from Willits to Fort Bragg is probably one of the most dangerous sections of roadway in California-please be careful driving this road-especially in this winter weather.
hwy 20 not hwy 1
It is called Highway 20 not Highway 1.
Lot of fun on a motorcycle though! Many poker runs.
..they you’ve never been over Orr springs? Flynn creek? Branscomb?
Driven to elk? Jenner?… shoot hwy 20 is actually a pretty safe road… leggett?
I know i have a race car and a f###ing pg&e pickup truck with some ass hole was trying to ficking race me where no ones around
Pull over if you can’t handle it
Try Hwy 17 between Santa Cruz and Los Gatos.
There are bumper stickers that say: ‘Safe and Serene Hwy 17’ It’s a joke.
Before my time, Hwy 17 had NO center divider (concrete). It was a two lane hwy with a suicide lane (passing lane) in the middle.
Yes, I survived my youth on Hwy 17.
🙏🙏 for the family🙏
Sad. RIP.
Only saw one head on collision on that road. Only been on it once, in 1977.
RIP
