Has your technique of ever caused you to run off the road or into unseen debris on the road?

Not really contrary to, but rather in addition to. The narrow country roads here in the boondocks make for a nasty head-on collision with a pickup.

It's never been a problem for me to do this as I'm a "pick a line and hold it" kind of guy. Meaning if I'm on the inside entering a turn, I hold the inside line. And if I'm on the outside entering a turn, then I old the outside line. I don't do a lot of drifting around going into or during turns.
