        I agree. I drive there every day and there is always some idiot who think they don't have to obey driving rules and come into my lane all the time. When an obstacle is in your lane you are supposed to wait until the next land is clear to pass, but instead these idiots speed up trying to get past before you do. Every FREAKING day. Not just there, all over the place.

      How is a corner dangerous??? The corner sitting there minding it's own business.LOL..It's the idiot drivers who don't go slowly around and try to overtake another vehicle. They are too impatient. Common sense seems to be lacking in our drivers.
