About This Video
Sixty seconds on the blind driveway in Topanga Canyon. Van has been trying to solve this for years: someone doing 60 in a 35 on a blind curve while he backs out with his family in the car. That is not an acceptable variable.
The fix: park the Tacoma where the garbage cans go, mount a light bar on the roof visible from far enough away to brake in time. The brake-light test involves hiding behind a tree like a kid. It works. Good enough for me, he says. That is science.
