That's some real no-performance driving there. :frown2: Some folks learned what understeer & trailing throttle oversteer are. Well they probably didn't learn, they just experienced it. ut:

Monday I drove up to Cleveburg & the bozo's on the interstate couldn't maintain their lanes either. :incazzato:

 

Rut Roh.......who's red MINI was that.......? !

Now in my neck of the twisties it is the looky-loos to busy watching the scenery that I have to be watchful for.

 

At least the bozo in the MINI kept it on their side of the road. :lol:

 

MINI off at 1:05!!!!!

What road is this?

 

wow.

 

Here in BC they've got a new law for dangerous driving that if you're 25 miles over the posted speed you will have your car impounded (on the spot) for a week. In North Van, just a few miles from me a Ferrari and BMW not only had their cars impounded, they were sold under some forfieture law

CBC News - British Columbia - Clocked at 200 km/h, cars impounded

Too bad the police don't set up shop on that Mulholland Drive curve and get some of those idios off the road

 

Hate to say it, but......
Saw the same thing on the Dragon this past fall.

 

its more fun to stay in the lane because its a little more of a challenge but i feel it teaches me to control my car better

 

In defense of those drivers, it looks like some of them were distracted by the onlookers. Car goes where the eyes point it...

 

That's like the chicken/egg story. Which came first the crappy drivers or the lookie-loos :lol:

 

Have always thought that as well!

Cheers!

There's a thread on some other MINI site about Tail-of-the-Dragon line crossers, shaming them with photographic evidence, which is probably as effective as the mid-corner holler from the lane vigilantes. Somebody tagged our very own Mikey a.k.a. Herbie 53 guy (big guy, occasionally with blue hair, for those who have met us at the Dragon), crossing the line by no more than a foot. Needless to say, we have a print screen capture of the image on the Helix wall of shame.

 

That was a real eye opening thread for sure. :sosp:

My trips to the Dragon are always in October & thankfully I have not seen any lane crossers on my drives through there. I have seen them on other roads in the area that I drive. My perspective on what I've seen leads me to believe it is locals who know the road that are shortcutting the corners. So it is not only the racer wannabe's that one has to look out for.

EDIT... I know the vast majority of locals do not drive this way, but it takes only 1 to quite possibly change your life forever.

 

What about the slow idiots who drive around here on straight roads and cross the line? I want to strangle them.
