This was very close to a five cart pileup had the other four drivers not been paying attention. Just another example where no amount of striping would have helped avoid this situation. The offending cart was obviously going over 20 mph. Had I not been so shocked I would have gotten his tag number (yes he had one) and reported him for reckless driving. Guess nothing can be done to fix stupid! |
Did you report it to the data collectors?
On my bike I ran off the road on a blind curve to avoid an accident at the same place. I also saw an accident there, or the results while playing at Turtle Mound. My gut feeling is that most of us have been in close calls on MMP blind curves. Striping would not help, maybe a mirror would? I don't know.
Further down on BV there is a blind curve around Pinellas. I think if they cut the bushes down, it wouldn't be blind. I'm biking that way later to see a football game and I'll check.
I wish there was a pin point map that did point out the danger areas on the MMP. I wonder if TOTV would be a good place to submit the data? Moderator, can you help?
