What I really want to know is what in the world is playing on the stereo.

Whoever this is, I'm sure you'll see it, STOP! Don't be that guy. The live you save, may just be your own.

i have.
try it sometimes, then your tune will change.
Unfortunately, between the tweakers and the a-hole wanna be racer boys, this is all too common in the mountains around here. I've been riding motos and driving in the mountains around here for 22 years and have just about seen it all. Surprisingly, the second worst move I ever saw was from some douchebag in a gorgeous CGT who double yellowed at speed in heavy traffic on a Sunday afternoon. But for the grace of God nobody was killed that day.
that car does it up down 84. 35, 92 all the time. it has dropped a few motorcycles.

man he would have easily ended a motocyclist life right there and for what...just too show off his teenage driving skills. Quit frankly he needs to be reported to CHP because he will kill somebody one day just a matter of time

This is nothing new. A holes like this are the reason I really avoid canyon runs. Its just too reckless and not worth my life. I know these cars are meant to take it like a king, but ill just take it to track. Fast forward to 2:30 for the incident

The USA definitely needs better/more aware drivers.
Help educate, save lives. California Motor Vehicle Code 21656
If there are five or more cars behind you, then you must pull off the road and allow them to pass. This makes driving safe for the drivers behind you who are anxious to pass and makes you a more polite and courteous driver.

Not defending the behavior but I suspect the driver was viewing/observing the road ahead during various times the road ahead was visible to ensure no oncoming traffic.
I understand this technique is quite common in Europe in areas where there is a lot of mountain roads and a lot of drivers doing day in and day out mountain road driving but less common here as many USA drivers seldom experience mountain driving and when they do are loathe to violate the solid yellow line or even just pass on a "blind" curve. To the unknowing someone employing this techique can appear to have a death wish but once becomes accustomed to seeing this it becomes less scary.
(I have used this look ahead technique a few times just to experience it but that is all. A problem is a driver may take offense at being overtaken and move out to block one or call in a driving report and one then gets pulled over down the road.)
Still with all the traffic it is not really going to buy him much. Where it could come in handy is passing a lone slower moving vehicle.

^not trying to pick on you, but if anyone has a special "technique", the place to use it is the track, imo. Anything else called a technique that involves crossing double yellows in a place like Angeles Crest is purely hazard creation. I wonder if there is anyone that would cross a double yellow and not look ahead, so it seems that this technique is widely used by every idiot overtaking in blind spots, so not that special anyway.
