I've done some spirited driving on that road.  It is very, very dangerous.  Anyone who wants to try it ought to take some advanced performance driving lessons, then learn the road.  Coming out of that tunnel at what looks like 100mph is totally insane.  Given his car collection, I'd have thought he knew that, but given how he's driving, I guess not.

Yes, that's him  - still strapped to the seat - being dragged away from the wreckage.

  Angeles Crest is not “very very dangerous”.  The road is fine… decent road surface, wide, well engineered with no reverse camber and just a couple modest decreasing radius corners.  The only problem is the kooks with 200 hp bikes or 600 hp cars and only 100 hp worth of hand-eye coordination.
