The Tail of the Dragon is not for the faint of heart. Zero run-off area either side, no guard rails in most places, your choice of drop offs or hitting a bank, and a fair amount of traffic at times. At least there are no homes, driveways, and intersections. Best advice is to stay on your side of the double yellow, drive to your comfort level and stay alert 100% of the time at every blind corner (most of them). There are more than a few motorcycle accidents there, and a "tree of shame" of collected broken motorcycle parts hanging from it.
A lot of folks don't like how tight and relatively slow it is but I enjoy the repetitive flow of one corner after another after another.... although behind slow traffic its like you're in the Twilight Zone and can't escape.
