This guy was scarey and SLOW!!! I just kept waiting for another car to smack him good around the corner.

I just kept my distance once I saw how he was driving around the curves.

Thank goodness there were no bikes flying by. That would have been messy!

My bet is the guy is 80+ years old and probably couldn't even see the yellow lines on the road. Simply frightening!

Nope... thats how the locals drive....

We were behind a pickup truck that was trying to go fast... he was cutting every corner.... scary thought....

I really feel sorry for the dogs he had in the back.... they had to have been rolling from one side of their cage to the other the entire time.....

Had a sticker on the bumoer "I'm a bear hunter"..... that saysd enough!!
