CHP is out in force along #Highway9 in Saratoga, after neighbors complained about reckless driving along that highway.

I should have driven Hwy 9 and Skyline more in years past. The route is now infested by reckless—and frankly unskilled—drivers. People are crossing double-yellows to pass, and cutting in through blind corners, and it scares the shit out of me. Alice’s has become unbearably crowded at lunchtime on weekends.

I think part of the reason for this are Instagram accounts that post videos that glorify risky behavior along the route.

Wow, I know this guy. Dan Carpenter was very active in the #sfba #cars community. Pretty shocking to learn that he’s charged with leading a group of people to scam insurance companies for commissions. I guess that’s how he afforded all those cars.
