The beauty about driving here in California is most drivers in the canyons know the written rule to never cross the centerline and the potential consequences for being an A Hole thinking they are "outlaws".....Oh yeah I've been banned form s
te forums for pointing out the crap being sold and not taking some keyboard warrior's BS.... That must make me an outlaw...
Now lets see some more "good" Porsche driving on "roads" videos... Not some self promoting do nothing but color by number turning turd to colored turd modifications driving like a tool....

Are you still suggesting that crossing the centre line with no traffic and appropriate visibility is 'reckless' and makes you an 'A hole'...?
I think it would be too cool to see what kind of times he could run if he had to stay in one lane....

Ok why don't you come over here and rent any Porsche you can and let's have a little drive through the canyons together no speed limit, you follow me and keep behind me and only one rule, you can't cross the centerline... We'll mount cameras on the drivers door to record the drive and let's put a $100.00 penalty on each infraction...I'm sure with your superior driving skills you should clean up...... Or
Please troll elsewhere you are a bore .....

Rather than continuing with the insults, why don't you actually answer the question...??!!I'm sure with your superior driving skills you should clean up...... Or

Jeez - this is getting all skewed!!!
In the UK, most or possibly all good 'advanced' instructors will tell you to widen the approach wherever possible and safe. Seeing further ahead and straightening out the road to allow a more fluid progress is encouraged.
And you know what - it's PERFECTLY SAFE.
You don't do it on blind corners
You don't do it at stupid speeds
You do it when t's PERFECTLY SAFE.
The only times doing this would result in a situation in the above photo is doing it when you cannot see far enough ahead and by taking stupid chances. None of us are suggesting that.
I understand that you have unbroken lines in the US but that's just a legal issue as has been pointed out.

You guys are getting to the point where you should be ashamed of yourselves here. This is real school yard stuff and does not reflect well on you guys at all.
This guy posted a vid of him driving in the canyons, if you don't like him or it just don't post or review anything that he posts.
Or have I missed something here?

Take the time to look up driver/rider fatalities on Mulholland Hwy and Angeles Crest Hwy and you will change your tune. There are fatalities here every weekend due to the heroes and zeros on the road..... I have called the rescue team in three times over the years.... Two guys didn't make it.In the UK, most or possibly all good 'advanced' instructors will tell you to widen the approach wherever possible and safe.

No-one with any common sense would change their opinions, because garyhun has set up a perfectly logical argument.The fact that you continue to stick to your claim that (effectively) putting a tyre over the centre line will result in instant death is laughable!
Are you suggesting that the fatalities in the above locations occurred when visibility was good and when there was no other traffic, but the driver simply crossed the centre line??

Dude twist and deflect as much as you like it still makes you a troll.... Go away boy you bother me..
Now this is a cool Porsche hillclimb video with the driver doing what it takes for him to stay in control....
Awesome..

Speeding through the canyons seems to be accepted yet crossing the line (even when safe to do so) is a big no-no?
I just don't get it
Anyway, ronin, is this you in the 458

Come on now we all know speed doesn't kill, it's lack of control when moving quickly that will do you in.....I just don't get it
