Mulholland and blind corners

Post by Michael Smith »

Mulholland is fun to drive, but it can be dangerous as seen in these vids:

It looks like in some cases the crowd yelling distracts the drivers on the corner.

That's the reason why I don't go up there any more... In the section of Mulholland down in my part of town, I once got passed by a Corvette going well beyond the speed limit who proceeded to pass the next three cars in front of me on a blind corner. Lucky for the driver, no one was coming the other way. Yikes.

Leonard,

What you fail to understand: Corvette drivers can see thru mountains and around blind corners. It's a factory option. :D
