Based on the picture in the article, maybe just look at where you're driving for once. If you can't see far enough slow down.
Tho it's definitely the street maintainers responsibility to put up enough warnings/barriers
So apparently the barriers were missing "due to vandalism" and it was raining heavily the night this happened.
I am a bit terrified of this. Sometimes when I'm driving at night I realize, to assume the road doesn't end right over the next hill is to put full faith in the state. You have to trust your government to am extreme to go 70 mph over a hill you can't see past. Some people in some places don't have that luxury, and it won't be like that forever anywhere.
You're driving a several thousand kilogram death machine. The luxury you're referring to is irresponsibility.
The ability to drive on a road and know it will be in front of you is called irresponsibility?
The entitlement to assume all roads are safe at all times even when you can't see them is very irresponsible.
you're telling me you slow down to 25mph on the freeway if you can't see around the bend?
