The 11 foot 8" bridge has been fixed, but now there's this - The OG turn!

Ha. What about that highway offramp-corner-tunnel-traffic light combo in Seattle? That's good for a fair amount of carnage.

The corner could do with a bit more camber, in fact, the outside has inverse camber. Not saying the video wasn't funny though.

A bunch of bad drivers!

Many long years ago, I was in my 914 and exiting from the interstate onto a decreeing radius, 180 degree corner. A pickup was right on my bumper, and just feet away. I knew the corner well as I used it regularly. I never touched the brakes, and just downshifted and took the corner at 95% of the max speed.

That pickup went way off the road, and mowed down a fence, and was out in the weeds, stuck. I just smiled. A pickup does not handle like a 914 in the hands of someone that autocrosses all the time.

He was tailgating me and he got his just rewards. I just hope the police gave him a ticket for reckless driving as well.

Western Oregon residents are terrible snow drivers. Snow is rare here & usually doesn't last long.
