Still doesn’t beat the crazy (and probably now dead) Moscow motorcyclist making his way through heavy traffic,at about an average speed of 80 mph posted here 1-2 months ago.
Just before the caption “I wonder what the signs say” appeared, I was thinking “I bet the signs say “No Turns”,
which is something my wife always laughs at when we’re driving down a highway which OBVIOUSLY has no turns and no possibility of them.If anybody can read German please inform as to what they do say, if you can stop the film and the sign is clear enough.I tried, I couldn’t.

Too bad your linked page does not allow comments. We could have a really wacky conversation about personal hygiene products or something in German and make equally peculiar AdSense ads pop up. Teh Goggle is sort of flimsy that way.

Cool. The terrain reminds me of Lake Placid. Lake Placid doesn’t have that ride but you can go bobsledding!
