The most dangerous type of road is one with short radius vertical rises and dips. You car can get easily unweighted on the rises and you will lose all steering control.
These people could easily have died. If you are going for a spirited back road drive, it is best to scope out the road first ahead of time. If you are veering into the opposing lane, you are going too fast, plain and simple. A back road is not a race track and you should never attempt to drive on it like one. The key is that you can get moving in spurts, but other times you really have to slow it down.
It can be done quite safely and is still a lot of fun, but if you want to drive like you are on a track, then drive on a track.

I think alot has to do with age...i drove like fast and furious when i was 16- early twenties. I drive like a grand pa now most of the time. Even consider getting the new Rav4 and saving up for the CPO 911 once prices start to drop
