Very sad and I feel for his family. These cars can be dangerous if you don't be careful and from the article it looks as if he was doing something that he shouldn't have been. As JWD said, that was 100% preventable.

Condolences to Thomas Hauth's family.

100% preventable if you follow all traffic laws 100% of the time. These cars are a handful and half. How many times have people stomped on it until the "pucker factor" kicks in, or have been on the highway and decide to stomp on it?

I used to drive that road everyday to work. It's a great drive; winding, mostly hilly. Unfortunately, it is marked no-passing for most of the way and for good reason. It appears he was in a no passing section from the picture.

I understand if he did pass in a no passing section. It sure was frustrating getting stuck behind slow cars and feed trucks.

Paul,

We have a highway like that which goes from Redding to the coast and is the main way over there. It follows the old stagecoach route and the past few years they have been trying to put in passing lanes where they can and widen it in places it is possible to do so. It is really frustrating to get behind an 18 wheeler or big motorhome doing 20 MPH up through the mountains for mile after mile. I used to just pull off the road at the first place I could and look around for about a half hour to let them get far enough ahead that if I did catch up to them again it would be in the areas where they were able to make passing zones. Most of the highway is just wide enough for two vehicles to pass and it has really sharp curves with just one place to go if you mess up. Down the canyon wall and into the river.

Ron

I remember this thread from ten years ago, when I was still only lurking....
Enough Dead Cobra Owners! Enough Wrecked Cars!

And while none of us know for sure, a lot of us can easily guess how someone might "lose control" while passing a slow moving vehicle on a rural road. I don't think dual roll bars would have helped on this one -- although four or five point belts might have, instead of just the lap belt.

Actually, dual roll bars or full width roll bar in conjunction with 4/5 point harness could have possibly made all the difference.

RIP and my condolences to his family and friends.
