...that some people continue to be so selfish that they use a PUBLIC road as their personal race track.
Maybe they will crash and not hit an innocent motorist but why does this have to be concern for people that want to drive this road and not have to fear what is coming around the next corner.
This is a very preventable situation. One of it's main components is people having respect and concern for their fellow motorist.

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE - California Highway Patrol officials will field extra officers on Angeles Crest Highway Saturday in an effort to combat motorcycle-related deaths and injuries, authorities said.
"This scenic drive attracts all types of motorists, including a special appeal to motorcycle enthusiasts of all calibers," CHP officials said in a written statement. "Unfortunately, the Angeles Crest Highway has become known for its disproportionately high rate of motorcycle collisions resulting in fatal injuries."
The CHP recorded 10 motorcyclist deaths and 195 injuries on the highway between 2007 and 2009.
The extra enforcement campaign is being funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
