Hmmm, ol' Bessie's engine is working harder than normal for some reason...
And yeah, that rock slide needed a blinkie. Preferably a highway-patrol car with its emergency lights activated

The truth is stranger than fiction. Glad no one was injured in either incident! Can't cure stupid, but you can sure try to dodge it.

I know that stretch of US 129. Motorcyclists call it "The Tail of the Dragon." 11 miles, 318 curves. 1000 feet of climbing. At least he didn't run off a cliff. 
They run a century called the "Cherahola Challege" that uses this stretch for part of its course.

I've witnessed someone drive right into a 4'x2'x2' white and orange road blocks on campus. Made a right turn out of the parking lot directly into it. She managed to hit it hard enough to roll it over, unfortunately it rolled and took her car too, so she ended up nose up in the air with nowhere to go until the police arrived.
