It's not just/necessarily you but others on the road. Keep in mind that between Coombs and Port Alberni, and Port Alberni all the way to the coast, there are no paved road alternatives (or even much if anything in the way of unpaved ones). The highway has a maximum elevation of only 411m but the approaches to the summit are relatively steep and windy in places.
