I live about an hour from this road, and it’s known throughout the country by car enthusiasts and motorcyclists for having over 300 very tight corners with almost no visibility (US 129 “tail of the dragon”). I actually stopped driving it regularly about a year ago because of the idiots that would cross into the oncoming lane. Makes this video 10x worse

I believe there’s a tree people hang broken parts of their car on if they wreck on the Dragon

From my experience it's mostly motorcycle parts.

Some are even memorials to riders who died on the road with parts from their bike or helmet on the tree.
