Did they remove the video, or is it just a problem w/ my phone?

 

Must be your phone... I just went back and it's playing fine for me.

 

...and they refuse to stop making excuses and man up.

 

Things are always funny..... until something terrible happens.....

They didn't appear to be speeding and there was surprisingly little traffic. Other Dragon videos I've seen have shown a much more crowded roadway.

Yeah, they should have kept to the right more than they did, but from the way the conversation has been about this video, I expected sphincter puckering near misses.

I don't think it was that bad at all!

I don't understand what that disturbing video has to do with a wayward countryguy?

FWIW Yep he crossed over the line, but he was not driving like a tool. He appeared to be in complete control to me. Yep by all means stay on your side of the line. I did see a bit of tooling last weekend. Just my .02 & worth every penny. :wink:

 

IndiCooper-I've had that happen to me too. Not a fun experience as you know. How do you ban one from a public road? Don't think you can do it.

When you drive the dragon there are risks involved, from the road itself & from folks who want to fulfill their boy racer fantasies. You can control how you react to the road. But you can not control the other road users. You either go ahead drive the dragon & accept the risks or you do not. There are so many wonderful roads in the area so I tend to stay off the dragon & let the boy racers have their fun.

 

We stayed off the Dragon precisely because we knew that with that many people around at least a few would go beyond their limits and then it was just a matter of luck if everything would turn out ok. And I tend to have crap luck. My idea of a good vacation is not visiting a hospital and dealing with insurance companies. And there are loads of other great roads in the area where you can have a nice, fun drive but wont likely encounter as much traffic or bravado.

 

THAT is exactly why Jack puts on the Dragon Safety ("newbie") class every year!

 

The first year we did the newbie video and run. About 3 miles in I realized that having a bunch of people unfamiliar with the road may not be the best situation. lol We were following someone that even at a slow speed had issues staying between the mustard and mayo. It was an interesting run. I was very happy that was the year of the rock slide thereby guaranteeing that no big trucks were going to be coming from the opposite direction.

Kidding aside I do think that everyone should do the newbie orientation at least once as it kind of forces you to do it at a slow pace and there are other people around to help if needed. I am loving the simulator idea. It would be a fun game if nothing else.

 

The driver of the White CM "Zane Brooks" can't drive for crap.

That was an epic display of a guy that thinks he is a professional driver acting like an idiot on the Dragon.

I so hope he are at the Dragon Next Year so we can use this failure video of how to NOT to drive on the Dragon as a demo film.
