well ~ i know the road that i go down and play on my free time. i call it Twister Track. it has a lot of curves and straight road and able to test car to limits. which how i got in accident with RSX. country roads are great to drive. but it's still a public road. you don't know what's on the road so don't push it too hard.

My RSX got flipped 3times because tire blow up by some sharp object on the road.

but it's still fun to go and push the car to limits.

There is an advert on the radio at the moment that says statistically, three times as many people are killed on country roads as motorways

Being a boring old git, I aways take it easy around blind bends, here in the UK, there are a lot of single track roads with passing places, blind corners, no footpaths, entrances to farms and fields etc It's not uncommon to find people or even animals (horses, cows etc) just around a corner!

This is one safety advert I can believe.

A friend of mine hit a deer about a mile from my home, made quite a mess of the car! The animal was put down

There are plenty of nice twisty roads here in Colorado, unfortunately that's where all the Police officer likes to hang out and the unlucky motorist gets their tickets.

I raced one of my friends Honda Accords( Not stock, he was pushing around 280HP and alot of suspension mods) through my local country roads. I knew my SLK230 could out handle his car but I wanted to see what he could do. We we were maintaing between 70-90 mph through the 35 mph turns and close to 120 through the 55 mph hilly straights. It was good fun yet extremely dangerous because if you oversteer or understeer the car through the turns you are dead. Anyways, the SLK was excellent and is great fun through curves although i hear the R171 is alot better than the R170.
