Since the vehicle was invented it still remains as one of the dangerous modes of transportation

The problem is people in CA their average speed is 80mph. Sometimes I drive about 77-78. & people are still flying by me like I’m sitting still. If drive 75 just 5mph over the speed limit. I get tailgated, people passing me like they pissed off.

Speaking of distracted driving, there’s a trend now to put giant tablet-sized touchscreens in cars. What could possibly go wrong with that, I wonder?

California has the most offramps I've ever seen, but people will still _cut across 3 lanes_ @ the last second, to exit. Instead of going 1/2 mile farther.

The problem, specifically with the Cajon Pass, but elsewhere as well, is that the affordable housing is moving further and further out, and the half-decent jobs stay put. So a large number of people commute from Victorville and Hesperia to jobs "down the hill" in Ontario, Fontana, Chino, Redlands and so on. To get to and from work, they hop in the fast lane of I-15 and haul ass, and woe betide the slower traffic that gets in their way.

On the I-15 to Las Vegas, several times I've been in the right lane with a car overtaking me on the left. Then suddenly another car will pass both of us on the RIGHT SHOULDER driving 90+ mph. The idiot using the shoulder as a passing lane couldn't wait five seconds for the car in the left lane to pass me.

In my experience, drivers who do not anticipate the grade and cannot maintain speed going up are a huge reason of congestion (must put the pedal to the metal to keep going 70+ in the left lane, and at 70 you need to move over for others to pass). Going down, if you are uncomfortable with your vehicle’s speed and must brake, move to a lane right of yours. Plain and simple. It’s the drivers, period.

Too many stupid drivers.. there's your problem.

I drove the Cajón pass last winter and out of nowhere the thickest fog appeared. I had to pull over to the shoulder because there was nearly zero visibility. I’m glad I did. There needs to be more signs warning drivers about that stretch of highway under bad weather conditions

the 605 from cerritos to norwalk got hella speed bumps on it that’s definitely got to do w the roads

The road, the terrain, the topography, the landscape, the visual field. I think all factors into why certain areas have a higher number of deadly accidents.

It’s the drivers for sure! People are all around careless. No matter the highway, people do what they want. I just always remain calm and stay cautious of everything and everyone around me.

In the last few years, people have just stopped following the rules. They blow through stop signs, barely slowing down. They speed up for yellow lights and blast through the red just hoping to squeak by. So many people are also paying more attention to their cell phones. As soon as they stop at a light, out comes the phone and the light turns green and they just sit there. But the most I see is speeding, zig zagging in and out of lanes from the fast lane to the slow lane and back. They ignore big rigs, tailgate, flip off other drivers. The speed limit is 70, I'm doing 75 and they pass me like nothing. 90mph+ all day long

Problem is, it's too easy to get a driver's license in a country that's full of self-entitled pricks who only think about themselves and the consequences for bad decisions aren't harsh enough for those that make them. Stop letting kids drive. Make it mandatory to pass a training course, not just take a test. Mandate a probationary period where one accident or ticket sets you back at square one or revokes your license altogether. Driving is a privilege, not a right. Don't get the two confused.

There is a stretch of road that I am honestly surprised is not included: it's the stretch of two-lane from Barstow back to the Ft. Irwin training center. My first time driving it, I was gobsmacked by the number of memorial crosses lining the road, my guess most of them single vehicle crashes of soldiers falling asleep on their way back to base.

Im happy to see that this road is getting this needed attention. Every time I drive it I stay in the slow lane. Its rough, full of racers. I try to use this road as little as possible.

It’s definitely gotten worse over the decades. I remember as a kid it was wide open. Now it’s hectic with a bad mix of drivers..

Two and a half weeks ago I saw another motorist use their turn signal right here in Southern California

I passed that section hundreds times but never felt deadly. The problem is those who do "rapid" lane change into other's blindspot, doesn't matter whichever freeway or road you are on.

re: "Cajon Pass named deadliest road in California". There's nothing 'Deadly' about Cajon Pass Road. It's the road that many people drive carelessly, and 'In their Own Little World', with NO REGARD for other motorists around them. Because of the grade many intoxicated drivers don't watch their downhill speed and consequently driving faster than they are capable of safely controlling. That kind of driving is 'The Deadliest' ! It's NOT Cajon Pass'

How can you blame the road? The only ones to blame are the drivers.

I’m quite familiar with 3 of these listed. They’re all in areas with multiple junctions and where people can get confused easily.

Highway 17 between San Jose and Santa Cruz is pretty scary too.

People need to learn to use signals and how to stay in their lane. Also , old people need younger people driving them around .

I'm surprised the statistics aren't higher. I've driven some of these highways. It's like the drivers are trying out for the Indy 500.

It's the drivers obviously. Most seem to not realize they are operating a weapon that can kill while driving.

if we studied car crashes like we do plane or train crashes cars would be outlawed because of how unsafe it is to drive in most places. lots of it has to do with poor training and bad design. why would you let someone who isnt well trained go any speed they want on a road with blind corners that hide traffic or accidents. ive been on the cajon pass, its an unsafe road period. if 50 percent of crashes are high or speeding then there are still another 50 percent that are normal driving. its just unsafe

When I lived in California, if the speed limit was 65 but I was going 70 they would tailgate me. If I increased my speed to 75 so they stop tailgating me they would still speed up to continue tailgating me. I would move over to the next lane to let them pass me and they would speed up to 85 on a 65 and they would look at me like I was going 55 the entire time. People are just ridiculous, but its a sign of narcissism. People who think everyone needs to cater to them because they are special and need to be somewhere. But the entire time they would never bother changing lanes to pass me. Because they feel everyone needs to move out the way for them because they are special and how dare we make them touch their brakes to slow down or change lanes.

It's usually Prius drivers merging too slow and then getting into the fast lane while driving at slower speeds. Or it's BMW/Tesla drivers cutting someone off their immediately applying brakes causing these accidents.

The roads don't scare me.. Drunk Driver, Uninsured Driver, Unlicensed Driver and Illegal Alien that's scary

It's not the road. It's stupid driving.

In the Cajón pass people need to stop driving slow in the passing/fast lane if someone is behind you let them pass. So many times I’m passing people that are in the fast lane while I’m in the slow lane. You just see people coming up to someone that sits in the passing/fast lane and does not move which causes the person speeding to start weaving in and out. People shouldn’t be excessively speeding as well.

It’s a 4 lane highway. The road isn’t dangerous 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫it’s the drivers.

Best tip is stop being distracted when driving, keep 1 or 2 car lengths in front of you and go with what speed the rest of traffic is going.

I remember I was coming back from Denver and I drove through Palmdale Road, or the 18. It was a single lane going east and a single lane going west. I was driving west and I was doing 9 over the limit. Some guy passed me where passing was prohibited. Fortunately there was nobody driving eastbound. I don't understand how someone could be so careless.

Proper distance from the car in front of you is important. Pop quiz: Whats the proper distance? Most fail this question.

i drive the pass every day and once people hit the base of the hill at devore...its a free for all. there's so many people who think they have race cars speeding in and out of traffic, cutting off tractor trailers and bad drivers in general that its a miracle that i haven't been in a accident yet. compound that with the road always being repaired causing back ups, weather issues and a plethora of other day to day issues its a one way 2 hour drive for me to get to work.

I remember as a kid in the early 1970s it was worse they had big wreaks and pile ups. it was so bad they were making movies about car crashes. They slowed the traffic on the freeway to 55 mph remember 55 stay alive all of a sudden they changed it and up the speed limit to 75 mph.

Idk what these folks are talking about. I grew up in the high desert and the very first time I drove a freeway it was the cajon pass and it was a breeze. People are just careless.

Statically speeding is more dangerous than alcohol. But few people go to jail for speeding.🤔

up in northern California we have a freeway/highway that is only two lanes and then splits to merge North/south with the 99fwy. Every Single Day we see an accident in that split. people wait until the last minute to merge over which causes big rigs to slam their brakes and so many accidents! I feel like the 132Hwy intersection with the 99fwy has been the worst up here for the last 20 years.

everyone needs to start leaving cities it's not worth it anymore and very dangerous

The cause are the inconsiderate SLOW drivers

It's the drivers. Way too many narcissistic, law breaking drivers on the road these days. Almost everyone is tailgating, making unsafe lane changes without blinkers, and speeding recklessly. If you actually obey traffic laws, drivers will be pissed off these days. Going the speed limit? Expect to be tailgated. Leaving a safe following gap? Expect cars to be cutting you off. Stopping at a stop sign for 3 seconds? Expect to be honked at or other driver to go out of turn.

Lack of CHP! Lack of sheriff!...

In my personal experience no one can beat Atlanta when it comes to speeding. They speed even coming out of the driveway. I am not joking at all.

It all comes down to intelligence. Some people have terrible reaction time, terrible judgment, terrible processing overall. IT’S DEFINITELY THE PEOPLE.

This road should never have been heavily traveled in the first place. It's because of suburban sprawl developments to the north that never should have existed. Most of the inland empire is also the result of LA not building enough housing. There is absolutely no rail connection, and trucks & buses don't even have their own lane (something that's common in European countries on roads that see heavy traffic). And the speed limit is way too high - it should be at most 35mph through the mountain pass. This is a failure of engineering and urban planning.

the high dessert PERIOD from victorville to las vegas us dangerous. if the crime wasnt so damn rampant by "them", i would live there

Living in the bay I relise Cali drivers are just more aggressive. Other states have dumb drivers but here it's all agro

I have the video on mute but I just wanna say one thing, it’s not the most deadliest road just because the speed limit is 5 mph higher than the average slow speed limit.

Nope,I blame the drivers

Wow I just did a back to back trip from Vegas and back to OC yesterday. Smooth drive, except the dust storms lol.

Vehicles deaths will hopefully go down when the train from Vegas to Palmdale gets built

For the lights, they just need to put up cameras and charge those running red lights. And those more than 5-8 miles over speed limit gets jail time. That should slow all that down.

The sand also in the HD act like water, your car will hydroplane if your going to fast an keep going an going an going

*_Drake playing on the radio lol._*

Just drove to Barstow. It seemed pretty safe to me. Get your facts straight news

as someone who drives up and down from victorville to ontario daily, most people in the state need to learn how to drive better!! its a 4 lane highway pick a lane and go stop switching lanes thinking traffic will be less in another lane! once that happens i promise you accidents will happen less. it is always a pain to drive on a friday because every idiot going to vegas starts thinking they are in a hurry and just spend most of the time in traffic switching lanes which ends up having a minor accident which then backs it up for hours which could lead to the deadlier accidents when people are going 70 into the cajon and have to suddenly stop.

We need about 4X more CHP, that would help alot

You can blame the highway all you want but one this for sure and two things are for certain: The highway NEVER changes. It stays the same day in and day out. What DOES change is the makeup of the drivers on these roads and their driving skill, patience, mannerisms, and mood! Essentially, it's these people watching tv shows behind the wheel, having FaceTime phone calls while driving, not mapping their directions out PRIOR to getting on the actual road, and not being mindful that you are not the only one on four (or more) wheels out here! Stay Safe, Not Stupid!

THEY NEED TO SLOW DOWN !!!! They need more highway patrol.

It’s get to Vegas as fast as possible on Friday night. Party all weekend, then balls to the wall to get home on Sunday. How many times has there been wrecks because the driver fell asleep at the wheel.

Cops and chp will say it’s from dark tint, custom exhaust, and engine modifications

Not bad to be honest. Here in las vegas a minimum of 5 people die everyday due to speeding.

Crazzy in Azusa they built the nice Rosedale area. Tons of stops sign but never do any of these Rosedale people make stops instead they go directly through the stop signs all the way out of Azusa. Everyday 24-7

Ortega highway. Dangerous and haunted

Thank you very much.

people in the ie, cajon pass, and the high dessert work in warehouses. They live paycheck to paycheck barely making ends meet. Of course they won't care about their own lives and even less others.

Imagine that, the most populated area in the state has more of the "most dangerous" roads 🤔

The small 605 one (North) that right lane after the merge from the West 91 ends early (goes right into the next exit of the freeway). That might be the cause of one from cars running in hot and try to merge).

Every news story in the 21st century: "You're probably going to die today!"

You need some real cajones to drive on Cajon pass

Artificially setting the speed limits lower than the natural flow of traffic, is why many people just chronically speed the entire way to their destination, and don’t take a lower limit on a hill seriously. People just roll their eyes and assume it’s a speed trap for tax collection. Most interstates could safely be set at 80mph (seems like the average speed I’ve witnessed most people cruise naturally at on the highway), with 55/65/70mph zones being reserved only for dangerous or congested areas.

I've driven the Cajon pass hundreds of times without incident. Its the morons who have poor driving skills, going faster than they can handle that get themselves and others into trouble..

Honestly, it’s all b/c of slow and bad drivers mindlessly jumping onto the fast lane and disrupting the flow of traffic.

So where do the roads pick up/lose their definite article, if not the Cajon Pass? Barstow? The NV or AZ state line?

looks like the highway from GTA 5

If you drive slow as f*** keep your a** in the slow lane That would help out a whole lot

Bro amount of trains that got a runaway here

This is my favorite stretch of road

The average speed early morning is 90 mph

2:54 I wonder how much crossover there was between the dui and speeding. Wish they'd listed that.

There’s a lot of people in a hurry to go nowhere

It's all the Asians on the 22 freeway. It runs parallel to Westminster. They drive 40 mph on the highway and pullover wherever on city streets.

Speed limit is too fast and people are continuing to increase their speed more as they drive as they are inpatient to get to were they need to go. Yes, the Cajon pass is dangerous especially coming back from Hesperia towards LA and if your speeding as you hit the steep downhill curve at night especially you can easily flip off the freeway on the 15fwy. I’ve seen it a few times. very scary especially for inexperienced drivers they need to be careful and I also think it might be a good choice to drop the speed limit back to 65, but no police or HWY patrol people will still speed.

What do expect when the younger generation thinks street takeovers are normal.

They should have made the first leg of HIGH SPEED RAIL in California to Vegas.

Ever time get on freeways I have panic attacks and I don't drive no more lot people speeding so scary

I've read about the Cajon Pass, it's definitely scary. Especilly for Lorry Drivers

Have another stack of pancakes Joy

It is the driver ... how you drive, how much you are under the influence, and your state of mind.

Omg I go through there whenever I go back to LA after I drop off my fiancé in Victorville, it sure is scary, I’ll say that.

It’s the driver lol 😂

Blind corner on Cajon Pass 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 it’s a 4 lane wide freeway. The roads not dangerous, to many drivers that drive crazy are what’s dangerous. They cut you off from the left and right going 100 mph2 inches off your number and don’t even use blinkers.

No, can't be more dangerous than Ortega Highway.

What about the road from the 15 to Fort Irwin?

Yes it is trucks be at high speed

People everywhere forget all the rules that got them the license when they get in a car. Nobody follows signs, lines on the road, curbs, they cross 5 lanes in the last 20 feet before their exit, they brake check people and then they shocked when somebody hits them. I see it all the time in dashcam videos.

Roads aren’t dangerous it’s just the drivers I see it everyday people speeding on all lanes and wanna be “race car drivers” who think they can drive but are really just putting everyone around them in unnecessary danger
