A grand display of irresponsible riding - blatant double yellow passing (with available passing zones coming up) and California stops.
Just the sort of riding that will subject the rest of us to increased CHP obarvation on the way to and from Skaggs Springs Road.
+1 on unsafe pass
If you have the go pro 2, I like the Normal angle, the wide is just too much fish eye effect, the narrow accents movement too much. Get the remote too, you will love it!
As far as the pass, PLEASE, it was NOT dangerous by any terms, as someone else mentioned, I would have given a little more room, basically because on the east coast drivers like to swerve into your lane (yea, some believe that a safe pass on the yellow is a capitol offense, and they try to play Judge jury and executioner).
Lets face it there are a million places where a safe pass can be made that is D yellow, those lines have grandma driving a 6000 lbs, 6 cyl Buick trying to pass a tractor trailer in mind. Or the paint truck operator was too lazy to change the settings. There are also places that are marked as passing zones that I will not use, because I do not have what I feel is a good sight line.
Sorry, I trust my eyes, and brain to make safe passes, not some stupid paint line, so throw some flames my way.
...the reason for the elimination of so many passing zones was due to State of CT using Chevy Chevettes as thier fleet vehicles, and that was what they were using as the basis for their "safety and performance assessments". he said that was indeed the case, and that if the Chevette could not make the pass within the zone, then it was eliminated.
pandering to the slowest common denominator. sheesh!
