we all have them weather they are blind and hard to see from or like mine scary when you see them for the first time mines a hidden junction so if your (yes you) not careful you going into live traffic at 60 mph (nsl road) first off that hedge is now overgrown so you can't see the sign https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=clithe ... 36,,0,1.58 and if you miss this sign your in trouble https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=clithe ... .02,,0,3.9 and then bang you crash in live traffic https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=clithe ... ,,0,0&z=20 and an overhead https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=clithe ... ngdom&z=18 so whats your scarrest corner

The one that's the most dangerous around here is the first near miss in my near miss compilation. I almost get ran over there about once a week and people pull right out in front of my almost daily. I guess it's something to do with the intersection being in a curve and right near a reduced speed area so it seems like you're slowing to make the turn,(going into town) and the people waiting to turn left(leaving town) just pull right on out.

I can't say scary because I haven't been able to go on it yet, but we have one good turn that I am looking forward to going on. There is actually a roundabout at a park near my house that I want to go on, but i wouldn't be able to go quick on it. I'll take a picture of it or get it on my camera, whenever it is I get (hoping by end of Oct, if not sooner).

The first set of switchbacks heading south on Route 123 in Arkansas always catches people out. The first time I took that turn was in a torrential downpour following XXX526 and almost wound up in the far side ditch. I had no idea the turn was that tight, but each successive run over the weekend got much easier. It was always fun to watch people swing wide on those turns, though.

I wish I could remember where that switchback was that caught most of us out the first year. Long sweeping left through the woods that opened into an immediate right hand switchback. I lifted the rear tire trying to slow down enough to make it, Chris ran WAY wide, someone ended up diving down on the inside trying to avoid Chris as he came back onto the road... That was some crazy shit.
