The Bronco Sport probably isn't ready for Black Bear Pass. Especially if you go the wrong way and then try to turn around.





Dog is fine :woof:

Is safety and training really stressed in off-roading communities? If it's anything like guns, I imagine a shiny brochure and a (virtual) room full of self-identifying off-roaders could convince a novice driver they have the right tools.

Not that I wouldn't Google my route to ensure it's not "[Place]'s Most Dangerous Road."

I bet she doesn't feel it right now but she's lucky. Definitely seems like the same kind of mistake that get solo hikers and paddlers killed. I recently got into kayaking, and it seems like the community at large is pretty "boring" and will urge caution all the time, even if not every paddler is doing the right thing.

I don't do ANY wilderness activity solo TBH; it's kind of a pain in the rear end, but I just can't bring myself to go on a lot of trails solo; I guess my logic is that there's some safety in numbers, if at least identify and solve potential problems faster. I don't "off-road" either, other than the occasional trail between hikes or something -- all my "actual" off-roading was done in a LMTV or HMMWV years ago. Getting my first off-road lessons in top-heavy up-armored military trucks gave me a healthy respect for spotting as an art form.

He's yelling: "Stop, in the name of God! Retreat from beside me Satan!". In a weirdly formal and archaic way.

Sounds like sovereign citizen and/or "legally insane" defense tactics imo.

It should help cut down on trucks racing each other for tens of miles because one of them has a .5mph higher top speed.

Usually they're swapping positions for fuel efficiency (aero), not for time.

Haha what? Most drivers are paid by the mile and time limited. If someone thinks they can get further in their limited time they will pass to do so. It's usually not fully logical and just based on the idea that you gotta go fast.

I was misinformed

I've driven in LA, Chicago, Minneapolis and Dallas.

New York City is one of the few places I will absolutely not drive in if given any choice. Last time I was there the bus I was riding in traded paint and body dents (we were sideswiped by the trailer) with a semi truck on the interstate highway at speed, and neither driver thought it was a big deal.

Did u die tho?

It seems like they just stopped turning? rear end in a top hat pass aside, that seemed totally doable if they'd actually turned the wheel at all...

No that wasn't "doable".

They were hard to starboard at nearly 60 mph and under-steered into the cliff.

It was never gonna happen and that was the "safest" possible crash they could have had.



"Doable" shouldn't be a consideration on the road. If you're thinking about what's doable in your car you probably drive like a dick. I can only imagine an aggressive and impatient driver thinking like that.
