Close Call Going up the Passing Lane at Albert Canyon East of Revy

[mountainbigbull]

Did up a little video from the trip home from Revy. I just passed a truck and car and luckily I was able to pull back into the slow lane. I always say the dangers are on the hi-ways not so much on the Mountain.

Watch out for the bad truckers. It's getting worse. Poor training, low pay, new "drivers" etc. This video shows just as small taste of what I have seen over the years! One time I had to go four wide in a passing lane!

I have been contacted by http://castanet.net from Kelowna and they are going to do a write up about it so watch for that.

Dumb chits they are


And yes that's my thoughts too when I used to drive out to sled, was going to be something like that and not a avalanche that killed me

Was there anyone in the passing lane behind you? That would have been very sketchy.

I just past a car. I was maybe two truck lengths. I know I was past the car not even sure I had time to check my mirrors. I have a rear camera set up too and I did see that car behind me between the sleds in the rear video.

Me too! Yes I had to add a few beeps there was quite a bit of foul language.

Main reason I quit riding in BC. I always told my family to not worry about me on the hill, it's the trip out and back that's the issue. The risk is still there in the US, but I don't seem to see the trucker stupidity in that country that we see up here. I'm just going to leave it at that.

That's done of the reason I haven't put my dash cam I got fir Christmas last year, I'm afraid the cops will hear what I say in the vehicle at that point lol

It’s easy to remove the sound.

They made some changes to the #1 west of Louise just before you head down to Field. There's a centre barrier and a new east bound truck chain-off pull-out. Three times now, heading west, I've had vehicles coming at me on the wrong side of the barrier. Two were semis. I'm not sure what's confusing the east bound drivers.

I can't watch the video? It says video is restricted?

I just checked on YouTube seems to be ok. The video is set as public. Maybe try again in a bit. Let me know if you still can’t watch it.

Now that you mention that reminds me I had one truck pull out in front me thinking he had some kind of lane to himself. Then on the way home a truck had his truck parked partially in the west bound lane!

Just steering wheel holders now. Skin colour don't matter, almost been killed by all of them on the number 1.

it'd probably get embarrassing seeing all the videos of me flipping you off on the hwy too.

I seen this on sunday coming east. I was sitting in the chain off area, and was watching a mini van in the west bound lane, had a bunch of traffic coming right at them.

that highway is terrible. I have a hard time passing anyone in the passing lanes because you cant tell where they are and aparently neither can the oncoming traffic. Getting pinched out by 2 semi trucks is a regular occurrence on that road
