Although it is plain that car was really moving to have done that to itself, it has to be said that particular corner is a bloody awful design too, with adverse camber and reducing radius with added REALLY BIG trees just to trap those who do happen to catch a rim on the RH kerb and skate off the road, and it is a typical example of some of the crap road engineering we see here that no doubt contributes to accidents, especially in mediocre cars or with drivers who are not fully aware. These include:
- roundabouts with tall vegetation on them,
- centre kerbs with drains set into them to trap the right hand wheels, like those on Mounts Bay Rd.
- Freeway pylons right next to the sealed trafficked edge, with zero sneeze factor allowed, as at Canning Bridge
- Power poles ditto, as on Canning Hwy in Melville/Myaree.
- Stupid chicanes deliberately built or painted into roads that would otherwise be perfectly straight, so that if a drivers' view is blocked such as by tall traffic in front, they have no way to intuitively determine or guage the direction the road is taking. It's called "traffic calming" by the dorks in the design department but it's not.
etc, etc...
