Was that during the long weekend? There were some boofheads on the roads and the trails then.
One of those quad buggy shuttles drifted out trying to set a land speed record up Black Stump shuttle, and flew off down the hillside. Everyone survived.

Yeah this weekend just passed. It was apparently their busiest weekend in a long time.
Jokes aside just glad everyone in the bus was ok... It was a brown undies moment until everyone got out safely.
First reaction was everyone put their helmets on!

No two-way radios on the bus ? You're lucky the ground wasn't really soft and the wheel didn't sink down.

They do...but I saw other cars on there even though I think it’s private.

Down on the left!
You get heaps of private cars shuttling that road and driving wide and flying around corners. it’s a pretty small road.

Yeah, I can see that corner is narrow. This is how some people wreck good things for other people.

Based on a trip of one...I thought there was a sign saying it was closed to the public? Maybe that was just for the Enduro National Champs.

I recall seeing a sign that said "no private shuttling".
The vehicle we came to face (not a private vehicle); we both had clear vision of each other for a while, and approached each other slowly. It's just the road was barely wide enough for us both at that section. That is about all I will say rather than pin the blame on anyone.
P.s. the recovery was unexpectedly easy and non eventful. The local tow guy came up with a big tractor and plucked out van and trailer with minor panel damage only.

It's a narrow road in most spots, not really suited to the volume of traffic that heads up & down - moreso on the busy weekends when it can be utter chaos. The turn around at the top has more recently been expanded a bit (still very limited in space), but it'd be worth the council funding some development for the road itself if they can get grants for it.
Re shuttles, It's a public road so they can't shut it to private shuttles. There's been a fair amount of contention about this in the past & is an ongoing sore spot for some. Personally i'd rather see a road upgrade to increase capacity rather than restrict access.

I personally think if you're spending time and money in Derby then pay for a shuttle. If it was only shuttle companies then these issues simply wouldn't happen.
But i get people want to ride when they want and save a few bucks, but its really not worth the drama.
If council seal and widen the road then id imagine it will become a highway and the shuttle company revenue would suffer a severe downturn.
I really don't think theres ever a good solution to these types of issues, bar building a private road?
Simple pull off / passing bays at regular points would suffice, doesn't require a highway.
