Hwy 58 is one mean roadway. Â Truckers and cars drivers get volocitized(do realize they are going to fast) from driving down the mountain. Â School kids have been run over at Pleasant Hill High School even with all the caution signs and lights. Slow down and live. Â Be lucky.
Well, go alittle faster on a well known dangerous road idiot! Have no thought for the other drivers!
