    Beside the lack of staying on the right side of the road wait until you get to about the 4:20 mark of the video. :incazzato::incazzato::mad5::mad5::mad2::mad2::incazzato::incazzato:

    This is how idiots cause others to get killed. The person even posted her name with the video. :nonod: FAIL

    Send it into her insurance company. That should be worth a hoot.

    Here I thought it was going to be a left of center extravaganza. I was shouting at the monitor saying don't do it when the MINI stopped around a blind corner & backed up. WTH! :incazzato:

    Not sure if it counts as a fail on the dragon, but the GP2 who went left of center on Hellbender & collected a MINI minding their own business coming the other way must take the grand prize of buffoonery.

    wow, you know, if they had pulloffs on the Dragon, folks wouldn't have to turn around in the middle of a bend :biggrin5:

    regarding crossing the center yellow. ALL Minis are so small there is simply no excuse for crossing the double yellow....idiot-gives us a bad rep...

    When she stopped I was expecting to see her get hit from behind. This will give me nightmares next year.

    I know I'll always have someone run in front of me! Dave.0 you are going to be there next year?:devil:

    That is if I can keep up!

    Today's etiquette tip:

    If you're trying to kill yourself, at least have the common courtesy not to try to take others with you.


    Another rant...

    Post up a video of yourself running at warp speed on a deserted freeway, and they'll call out the whole CSI crew to hand you a ticket, but nothing (except our derision) will happen to this ******. (A type of hat for those not impressed with censorship.)

    Yeah I knew she would pull the video, but enough people have already saw it and now know the car. It's not like it's hard to forget.

    Sad part is there are plenty of paved run offs compared to a few years ago.

    I hope she learned something by posting that video. It was obvious she did not know what she did was wrong & incredibly dangerous.

    That is my hope anyway. :fingerscrossed:

    Dang...just another "day late and a dollar short". Maybe M/A should start its own "lookit what a dumbutt I was at the Dragon" page and start naming names/cars....

    I see that kind of driving all the time here in Columbus on the city streets.... You take that attitude and decision making, put in on the Dragon, which in and of itself becomes a real test of driving skills, couple that with motorcyclist that are driving the "Isle of Man"..... Sprinkle in some 40' freight haulers.....

    Yup..... Need a bigger "Tree Of Shame"
