    Crossing the yellow on blind corners was dumb. The omg, omg, omg, omg like he's a cast member of glee was irritating. A canyon carving crash can and has happened to me, and will probably happen again.

    Crossing the double yellow line on blind corners does not qualify this guy as "the best of us".

    Those poor rocks. They never stood a chance.

    On a funny side note an approach controller in Phoenix almost flew me into those antennas back when I was in college. Odd to see those and know exactly where it was at.

    This is why you don't drive 10/10ths on a back road unless you know every inch of it by memory.

    I just think about insurance premiums raising on certain cars because gangster lean, ignorance of physics, and poor driving technique.

    **** like this happens to most of us, not the best of us. His mistakes were those of a mediocre driver with too much confidence, pure and simple.

    I think he means it wasn't his first time driving 'spiritedly' down that road, which is to say the corners aren't unknown to him. He just messed up.

    It still amazes me why people would compromise themselves by posting videos on YouTube. What do they possibly have to gain? This is about as stupid as the drive-by video posted on here.

    I've got nothing to say about driving fast on backroads and crashes happening...
