which reduces visibility for obvious reasons and makes accidents worse due to limited spacing on each side of the road.

now picture snow drifts on a switchback and you'll know what she drives through.
I don't think you're uncultured, you've just never had to deal with it before.

Hope I explained it well enough ^_^

picture's worth a thousand words and all that...that nails it down...nice views, ...We don't have any such things out here in the PRNJ....how fast would do do those switchbacks, assuming no snow?

hard to tell how fast you could do, also depends on if you want to powerslide through all the corners, and if you're going down or up hill. I'd go faster up than down, but thats cause I don't like the thought of falling down. From the looks of them, I'd say.. 100-120kph for pure slides and really high g's, but otherwise 60-80kph. Where I lived in BC we had some really nice ones on gravel road, used to go round them about 60kph in my Rabbit sideways, loads of fun but cost me a set of tires.
