I know the corner, there is no guardrail, and I've personally seen several people go off, although none of them have gone as far as the retention pond. It's an absolutely stupid design, and the curve suddenly gets very, very sharp, so you think you are fine, and then you are jerking the wheel to avoid the grass.
I'm favoured, $230K every 4weeks! I can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church……!!!
Faith in the US Police force restored
