I think the headline needs revision. The road is not dangerous as long as you use your head.

Multiple photos of this guy partially and completely on the wrong side of the road.

Google be my friend. I don't think the driver would agree that his reach exceeding his grasp was a good thing, however.

Could be due to the lightened force of gravity because of a bump as suggested but if he wasn't holding his lane it could just as easily have been due to dampness on the double yellow lines. That'll cause a traction malfunction quicker than you can blink your eyes

Effn prick gonna head on somebody following the rules. Why drive a fun curvy road if your just gonna try and straighten the road. Enjoy it for what it is and stay the **** away from the double yellows ****. I’ve seen an impala head on a hyabusa on that road it’s no joke.

Hwy 9 between Saratoga and Santa Cruz, CA is probably pretty similar. Our rule was that you NEVER crossed the centerline, or your buddies got to beat your ass. There's a turn going south, right after the Big Basin cutoff that's called the helicopter. In the 80's, on street tires, it was a continuous drift of >180 degrees. It was fun driving my Datsun 510 at the limit knowing the break was soft and predictable. Probably good I never had a performance car at that age.

I have trouble reaching items on the top shelf of the supermarket shelf if the products aren’t fronted.
