1. I don't appreciate obscenities, and I believe that you should be banned from this list.

Even if there are no other vehicles....

2.  What if you came around the corner and there was a pedestrian crossing the road?  Just kill him and keep on going?  It's a blind curve, so s/he can't see you either.

3. I hope this happens to you:  Maybe there is a bridge out just beyond the blind curve.  Or a tree has fallen across the road.
