As someone who has done a large number of spirited drives in his lifetime, I will tell you that these people were going WAY too fast for a public roadway. Sure you can let it loose a little, but this was ridiculous. Also, the roads themselves were dangerous to begin with.

The most dangerous type of road is one with short radius vertical rises and dips. You car can get easily unweighted on the rises and you will lose all steering control.

These people could easily have died. If you are going for a spirited back road drive, it is best to scope out the road first ahead of time. If you are veering into the opposing lane, you are going too fast, plain and simple. A back road is not a race track and you should never attempt to drive on it like one. The key is that you can get moving in spurts, but other times you really have to slow it down.

It can be done quite safely and is still a lot of fun, but if you want to drive like you are on a track, then drive on a track.
