I love the LGB. I don't think it is dangerous at all. The curves are gentle, and you have to be alert to stay in your lane or risk death. That's right - You actually have to be alert when you drive - what a concept. The people that think that roads need to be idiot proofed, are well, idiots.

speed limit is what it implies...A LIMIT...especially if the weather conditions are poor then yes I'll drive at a speed that I feel I can have good control of the car. Traffic is a part of life and if it means everyone getting to their destination in one piece...too bad you should've left work 5-10 minutes earlier if you knew the weather sucks/gonna be travelling on a one lane street.
Why waste tax dollars on curve signs on the sea-to-sky...why put rumble strips on highway to prevent people from dozing off etc
We don't live in a perfect world. Not everyone knows the limit of their cars and not everyone has a reaction time of a teenager. Not everyone knows how to correct their steering when traction goes to shit. SHIT HAPPENS. and could happen even to the best of us.
Please watch the video posted a few pages back...a member almost got into a head-on collision because yes, people do make stupid mistakes that can cost lives.
