Check out this road:

Yungas Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yungas_Road)

It's nicknamed "death road"... fun fun!

It's a single lane width with a huge drop down the side of a mountain. Often there are trucks trying to pass one another going in either direction.

I think it was History International just had a cool episode about that road where the host actually drove it. It was wild!

Lol maybe men in white coats might be more appropriate, this is madness and if someone fell, someone else would have to risk their lives to save them. Take care, love and peace anne x
