Every day it’s a winding road. Easy to crash if you stop paying attention.

No roads are dangerous. Just stupid people driving to fast and not paying attention. I’m a pedestrian and I’m having to pay attention to drivers. Shouldn’t it be the other way around.

Four wheel or all wheel drive will not help if you’re gliding on water. It’s like driving on black ice.

People, try to keep your speed down to less than 100 mph. This area has seen a ton of rollovers and accidents of all kinds. Semis, cars, SUV’s etc. Slow driving will get you there maybe 10 minutes late. Fast driving may never get you anywhere, except in the hospital or morgue.
