Dude glad your ok, at least you have learned something...
Like you can't drive for ****. Yea, it's ok to drive like an asshat fu*$tard. I mean I understand how hard it is to keep your vehicle inside the 11'6" lane that has been set up for you. The thing that gets me is the majority of you are saying it's no big deal...well your all wrong. It's a very big deal, and he's lucky as **** that he didn't hurt, or kill any one. Stay off the road until you're able to control your car. It's funny how a lot of you guys think your fast. The truth of the matter is I've seen the majority of you all blow Double Yellow lines. You all need to consider the bigger picture here... What if you had ran into a family who wanted to go for a bike ride. You could have easily killed someone, and it's still funny to me how everyone here treats it like it's a common occurance. You all need a reality check. Stay off the Effin road if you can't stay in your lane.
One person said it best..common sense dictates. Well sometimes common sense ain't so common.

Just scroll down the page to see what I've written instead of "guessing". I bet your just like the guy who crashed, he guessed that he could've made the turn...wrong guess.

dude take a "chillaxitive"...you didnt say just a few you said "its funny how A LOT of you guys think your fast" we all know how serious this accident was and hopefully everyone will learn from this mistake, not just Johnson himself, but all of us no matter the skill level of driving...we learn from the mistakes we make and of others (just we hope and pray that that mistake doesnt take a life)

I see where your coming from. It just seemed like a lot of you (not all of you) seemed to say at least you learned from your mistake, and didn't really address the seriousness of his "mistake".

WTF? First post and you just come on here guns ablazing?
My sayin MAJORITY...you are classifying in essense all of us.
I'd be interested to see how many of us you know...and how many of us you've seen on the road...since you've seen MOST of us blow the double yellow lines. I know for damn sure you don't know me and you've never seen me blow a double yellow.
I love how people come onto boards when their hear of accidents like this on other boards and start spouting off like they know all and are perfect little angels.
have you ever overextended your driving abilities? done something dumb? Especially when you were...say 18 years old? If you say no...you're full of **** and I can say that with out "guessing."
Fact of the matter....we had over 200 cars on that road that day. With that many cars, odds are pretty high that someone will screw up. The fact that it was only one...I think that's pretty damn good. I'd be willing to bet that if you got 200 of your volvo buddies up there one of them would wreck too. Or maybe they'd all drive 20mph with horns blazing so as to not hit any bicyclists.
On top of that....he didn't hit anyone else. He didn't have anyone else in the car. He didn't hurt anyone or anything else. He got some service folks paid some OT and gave them a good story to tell.
We are all aware of the dangers...we are just CHOOSING to look past them and be greatful that he learned a lesson, wasn't killed, and didn't kill anyone else. No need to go around pointing fingers and prancing around like perfect little heritics.

We can race for Pinks, but I don't know what I'd do with a POS subaru. Hmmm, maybe I can drive it over a ravine, since that seems like the thing to do.

Majority: bulk, preponderance, greater part. Sorry, I still didn't see the word "all". Maybe you can send me the link to the dictionary, or thesaurus that your using.

Yea this time. I think he got the point though. "It's ok buddy we all make mistakes." "Live and learn" "you'll take that turn faster next time" "lesson learned, now go back out there and take that hill"
I wish I had friends like you

(its sunny outside!!)I hope the "Majority" of you that can't seem to stay within the 11'6" slab of roadway that has been designated for you can do so. Cause next time you might not be so lucky, or worse yet I might not be so lucky.
