if anyone knows the malahat, they know cliffs up on one side of the highway and cliffs down on the other side. 4 of us navy boys were headed back to the base from ladysmith. we had all been drinking. the driver was from ladysmith. it was night,dark and other than the moonlight, you needed headlight to see the road clearly. the driver said i've driven the highway so often, i could drive it blindfolded. we laughed and said BS. so he turned out his headlights and drove the malahat with just the moonlight. when we sobbered up, we shook with fear at what could have happened.
