this cant be stressed enough, being a veteran ive seen what happens when people push past their limits and those that cant stay on theyre side of the road. this doesnt just apply to fellow MINIs but to other traffic as well. you never know whats going to be around the next corner and it could be on your side of the road! its very important to stay alert and to keep your eyes and focus on the road, not on the pretty scenery, not on the radio, not on the passengers in the car, THE ROAD! last year i was nearly a victim of the dragon from a pickup pulling a uhal trailer that was driving way to fast all over the road and i found myself face to face with him coming around a turn. luckly there was a pull off next to me and i was able to dip in there real quick to get out of the way. be prepared for the unexpected.
