Wow, ummm.... I think that driver needed to rethink his courses of action.

Sign said 55 MAX on the turn, and that should be for passenger vehicles.

Too bad the guy had to die to realize his mistake...That cabin was CRUSHED

How on earth was the trainer letting him go so fast?

we don't have all the facts.
we do know it was on a mountainous road and he could have lost his brakes.
so lets not jump to conclusions that this driver was playing speed racer on the road.
