Nice travelouge humyum..

By the looks of the second picture, it seems that the SX4 driver has hit the windshield inspite of the airbags being deployed. This implies only one thing, the driver wasn't wearing his seatbelt!

The rule is to give ascending vehicles priority but this should be changed. Minimizing brake usage on Descending vehicles should be a priority as the descending vehicles anyway have to constantly use the brakes and cause brake fade due to heat up. There is no such problem with ascending vehicles other than reducing momentum (which is just a matter of a clutch gear operation)

IMO, these travelogue threads must not be closed unless the thread starter recommends it.
