    I like this way of rating the roads and agree with your rating. I went there a month or two ago, and the place is crowded, and that speed trap is always there. Luckily, the tickets from the trap are like a slap on the wrist. My friend only had to pay 45 bucks, and no points were added to his license; pretty sure it's not even on his record; something about being a county ticket, I guess; he was going 15 over when they clocked him. I will say that the neighboring roads around 129 are also highly scenic and fun. Just driving that area in the mountains and valleys is a joy.

    • @TrueViewDriving
      @TrueViewDriving 11 днів тому

      Thanks - we have worked to make the rating system capture the way people feel about good roads. Some like them twisty and some with a good flow. As for the tickets you talked about - it does seem the way it goes. The Red Cayman did get a ticket. You can see that on our main channel - but didn’t have anything more than a fine!

    My biggest issue with the dragon is how crowded it is, and it's almost too twisty. You can't really open up your car, and it's really narrow, little margine for error. Not to mention a 30mph speed limit means if there is a cop you're probably getting pulled over. Some of the southeastern backroads in ohio are a little better imo, less people, more open, more flow, and almost always a 55mph speed limit. In ohio you can go 10 over without getting points on your lisense.

    • @TrueViewDriving
      @TrueViewDriving 12 днів тому

      Appreciate the detailed comment! The dragon is a bit of a bucket list road - at times it’s more of a carnival than a road trip- complete with photography booths and all! What’s your fav road in Ohio?

    • @houseking9211
      @houseking9211 12 днів тому

      ​@@TrueViewDriving I live in central Ohio so I don't get to explore the good roads unless I go on a day trip, but my favourite is probably state route 646 and 258. 258 is about 18 miles, and 646 is 28 miles. The 646 goes from tappan lake to steubenville. There are a lot of good roads in that hilly part of Ohio though, and it's pretty light on traffic, usually whenever I go out I plan a route on roads that look twisty and moderately well paved. My dad used to live in that area of Ohio and would drive it all the time, so that's how I knew about it. I think he said that one of his grandpas said it was "made by a drunk Indian". Coming from the west I took state route 258 to get to the 646, just exploring and it was honestly amazing, super free of cars, one of the least busy but fun roads I've ever driven. My dad went there another time and loved it as well. It's a little tighter than the 646, and the scenery is mostly just forest because it's so out of the way. But that makes the road even less busy than a couple dump trucks. One bucketlist road I want to try out is the tripple nickle, state route 555. It's popular among bikers, but it's super long so I'd have to at least set aside a full day.

    Boxer Gang! Just proof you don't NEED a $100k Porsche if you know how to drive. I like that you guys drive fast but have good street etiquettte. Nothing worse than guys who go over the limit and piss everyone off, which gives us all a bad name. Sometimes, just slow TF down and enjoy the road/view, it's not always a qualifying lap. That little Subaru is probably driving much closer to it's limit than the Porsches, but many times that's more fun!

    Great driving content, and I love the long takes with even fewer jumps or edits, and the rumbling sounds for Boxster engines. A few comments: 1) Direction shown: On your master list of routes, do you note the direction of the driving in the video (e.g. Northbound, uphill, etc.) shown? 2) Prefered direction: I sense that you are showing only one pass in one direction; is the opposite direction drive almost as good, just as good, or better, or do you have no preferred direction? There was one four-car drive in Georgia (Blood Mountain?) where it was apparent that the uphill was better because the marked passing lane allowed flight-bys of your friends. Do you choose a direction to film based on other reasons -- the number of driveways on one side vs the other side, lighting to avoid looking and filming looking into the sun, or different criteria? 3) Start/Endpoints: Do you note the starting point and end point (or just a pair of points, if the drive is bi-directional) of interest? For a listing as simple as 'VA Highway XXX,' when I look at the map, the first segment of VA XXX I find might be 6 miles running through town; does your route go through the city, or start in town and head north, or start just outside of town and head south, or what? In some videos the mile markers are noted.

    • @Affalterbach1967

      And the S in the video title is a trim level of a Porsche, not a direction. eg 911 S Dragon

    • @TrueViewDriving
      @TrueViewDriving 21 день тому

      Great questions! There are a few of the roads where the direction does matter and for those we will indicate which we prefer! In general - we prefer the twisty climbs over the descents if the road forces that choice. Some mountains are steeper on one face than the other. Check out our newest video on the TrueView channel showing the Westbound direction on 129. I think I can update the descriptions and chapter markers to show the directions. Also can do that on the map for the older vids.
