Default Hazardous road

I found that on the narrow & windy NZ roads, many folks drove far too fast. It seemed as though they were trying to drive 100 kph, even though conditions were better suited for 75. We nearly got smeared by a petrol tanker that was coming around a blind corner halfway in our lane. It didn't help that most of those roads had no shoulder, poor banking and posted limits of 100 kph.
