No. You will arrive well before Sunset, a wonderful time to be in The
Valley as I was just a cuppla weeks ago.

That's silly! If the vehicle has a means to change direction and
speed and is able to stop, the road's safe. If the driver is capable
of properly manipulating the vehicle, the road's safe.
