Please don't drive over a double yellow line. Especially in the canyon! (i.imgur.com)

This idiot decides to pass a car in a blind turn (hence the double yellow line in the middle). Tragedy ensues.

What even was the plan here going in? "I'll just pass three cars on a highway around a blind curve?" This is perhaps the dumbest thing I've seen a driver do in broad daylight.

I’ve seen my share of dumbassary from these sports car types. They think they can get away with anything. Imagine the damage caused to the other drivers. Sad.

This happened in the Kern River Canyon a few years ago. I know it's not "news" but I just recently remembered it and figured I'd share it for those who haven't seen it.

Edit: typo

I'm afraid to ask but feel like I need to know... Did this lead to fatalities?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can't remember the details but I don't think anyone died.
