10%?! Really!?!?

Fuck that noise.

Man... flatlanders just don't get mountain roads. It's scary to be near them. I try to keep my distance, but there's always someone who wants to drive up your ass.

I used to drive Rabbit Ears Pass on the daily for work and saw easily dozens of accidents soon after they happened, or as they were happening. Almost always it was multiple vehicles, because people drive too close on mountain roads. Especially in winter.

Spread out! Survive the drive! Have fun when you get there!
