Most Dangerous Roads In The World

I think this site is going to waste a lot of my time. There seems to be a lot of interesting stuff. Next article I'm gonna look at is shots of lava flows from Hawaiian volcanoes.

Have a look at the road in Bolivia from La Paz.
Here's a summary of one of my dear friends encounter on that road:

Sh was told not to travel on the busses as several go off the side each week, so she opted to fly. The flight got cancelled so she had to catch the bus. There was a massive landslide on the road so she was trapped (you can't turn around on the road) for 24 hours in a bus, with no loo and a driver high on coca leaves. Locals came to clear the landslide, but it slid again and killed some of them in front of my friend. Eventually they got moving again and she was convinced she was going to die and accepted it. The back wheel of the bus kept slipping off the edge and the driver kept turning around to try convince them they were ok which made him swerve rather erratically.. when she finally got away from that road she found out that one of the other buses had gone over the edge killing everyone inside..
Horrible.
