I was guessing you didn't mean Cuba, so I looked up Isle of Pines at Google.

WOW is all can say about New Caledonia. A little hard to get to, but it's on my bucket list. Any roads at all?

Factoid: Early in WWII, New Caledonia was approached by U.S. Army brass to bring troops and provisions to fight Imperial Japan. The Governor refused, but a day later, the beginning of a 50,000 Allied troop deployment began unloading their ships!

268 mph before crashing is unreal!

Also, the lowest accident rate is on an unlimited highway. I do know the Germans are very respectable drivers.

The Isle of Man also has no speed limits on 2 lanes!
I watched one of Isle of Man's infamous motorcycle races on YouTube. Since its inception, 265 bikers have died on the course!

Fatalities are expected!

One racer couldn't make a curve and sailed through the air downhill until he was just a dot--landing perhaps a half-mile from the roadway he'd just left.

'Guessing he was one of the survivors, as he wasn't mentioned again.
