It doesn’t matter what kind of country it is. That’s unacceptable by the lowest standards of being human. We should be better than this. We don’t have to be like this. It’s a blight on humanity itself. Not just for the gangs and willingness to exploit women and children, but for the country and communities that allow it to happen by making people desperate enough to consider it. Of course I know that’s not the only place where it happens. Far from it. Of course it happens in different places around the world. But that doesn’t make it acceptable. It isn’t. Anywhere or any time. Giving any country a free pass to buy and sell other humans, let alone kids because it’s happening in a third world country doesn’t cut it. I’m amazed that I had to explain that to someone.

I'm from Brazil, and I live in Curitiba. Actually, my house is about 100m from BR-116. I use to travel on this road at least once a month, 40 days, for work. I can tell you that I had more than a couple of close call there...

[@qualicumwilson5168]

If you want a North American entrant you only have to look at Bella Coola, BC. "The descent includes a 9 km (5.6 mi) section with grades of up to 18% (about 1 in 6). At this gradient, it’s said to be the steepest road in British Columbia. During steep sections, it’s best to put your vehicle in first gear and go slow. Remember, uphill traffic has the right-of-way. Some sections are single-lane. Tourists who have driven to Bella Coola from Williams Lake have been known to refuse to drive back and have had to be taken out by boat or floatplane." It was built by local residents without knowledge or assistance of the government and, at one time, there was a section that moderate to large trucks could not turn tight enough and BACKED up between some of the worst hair pin corners. I have heard it is better today but I am still not motivated enough to redrive it. PS It snows there, and ALOT.

I am one of those tourists that took the North Yungas Road as a tourist attraction in 2018. At that time, it only allowed vehicles from La Paz to the Yungas, not the other way, so no more dangerous crossings. Except for the mountain bikers, they were crazy. And there were armed men with a toll booth halfway that asked for money to pass, but didn't look too official.

[@franciscopozole]

Interesting. I also rode it in 2018. Our guide said it was simply no longer used except by tourists and a few locals with homes in the area. Didn't see any check points or armed men. We did have a guy nearly fall off the cliff because his saddle snapped off half way down the mountain. Poor bloke then had to drive the rest of the way down in a coach which is so much worse then rolling down on a bike. I do think you would need to be pretty bad and riding a bike to fall off the edge though. Though our tour group had full head helmets. Elbow and knee pads and full length over alls. As well as guides at the front middle and back. We did see some tour groups that were wearing skate helmets and swimming togs, their guides simply weren't guiding and had fucked off at the start and told them to meet them at the bottom. So your experiences may vary.

[@fbrown7150]

I rode it in 2007 just after the new route opened. A rider had died a few weeks before because his buddy teased him by veering his bike into his path. There was still some traffic at this point and the rule was that the traffic going downhill were on the cliff side and uphill traffic hugged the mountain. We were told to get off our bikes at these times as the trucks could force you to the edge of the cliff and people saddling their bike had gone over in the past.

Lol. That 99 Bends looks like fun. Drive those types of roads for 12 hours a day working with oil/gas in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Once you get over the fear of falling over the edge, they are actually extremely relaxing, almost Zen-like. The only real issues stem from other drivers who can't stay on their side of the road or who think that 2x the legal speed limit is a good place to start.

[@jakobofcincy]

one time I was riding my quad (Honda rancher 400) on one of the roads near my house at the time (clay county KY) when some idiot came flying down that road so damn fast I am pretty sure his front end was lifting off the ground, he had to be doing 60 or 70 miles an hour, thankfully it was one of the "wide" parts of the road and my instincts kicked in (I have been riding for the better part of my life, I easily could race quads if I wanted to) and I threw it to the side and his truck missed my taillights by about 2 inches, oh and the idiot was actively drinking shine straight from the jar and had what was either a hand rolled cigarette or a joint in his hand...

For the position of 5th, I nominate Ontario Highway 7 in Canada - in particular the stretch between Perth and Peterborough. It's a very long stretch, and there's not a lot of places to stop, and the ones that are there are far apart; it meanders, too - there aren't a lot of straightaways - it's mostly curves, and some of them aren't banked well... said poorly banked curves are also overlooking cliffs. Anyway, this is 400-500km of meandering roads that aren't as well maintained as they should be, through a heavily forested, very windy valley. It's also a very _boring_ route - it tricks one's mind into wandering... or nodding off. Also, it's basically 2-lanes the entire stretch, and it's one of the busiest highways in Ontario, so there will always be way too many semis on that road, and you'd better pick a god a pray if you have to drive it in November, when said truckers are in a mad rush to get to Montreal before the St Lawrence fully closes for winter.

I nominated Highway 401, especially between London (where I live) and Windsor. the area known as "Carnage Alley" because of all of the accidents that happen on it, namely the Sept. 3 1999, 87 vehicle pile-up that killed 8 people. If you've ever seen Heavy Rescue 401 on Discovery you see how the vehicles are just flying by accident scenes, not caring if they hit the guys who are trying to clean up the mess. Highway 7 reaches all the way to London. It's mostly farmland at this end, so there's nothing to see.

Australian truck drivers are legally allowed to drive 14 hours under an advanced fatigue management plan, which requires scheduling their rest stops and loading and unloading times. Australia like North America have weighing stations along the major truck routes, which will do a drug and alcohol test no questions asked. The Australian transport industry is highly regulated, which makes it hard for drivers and companies to work and maintain their time restrictions for the customer's. They also have to factor in maintenance times on both truck and trailers. So both the drivers and companies are under so much pressure from the NHVR(National Heavy Vehicle Regulation) that a driver nowadays can not break the law without someone knowing.

[@jackvos8047]

There are also pairs of gantries all over the place specifically for monitoring heavy vehicle speeds. I think that some may also be used to monitor fatigue and other infringements as well.

[@grumpybastard5744]

It's not the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator that is responsible for the time pressure, but the customers. It's not the NHVR that sets the schedules. I will also note that the NHVR was set up as a fesult of lobbying by the industry.

[@turtleboy4111]

@grumpybastard5744 I know this, it's technically illegal for customers to put time slots in place, but they still do. Mmm, I know. My dad had a lot to say about it when I was growing up.

LOL - for anyone who didn't get it, 4000 BC was 6000 years ago.

Bolivias death road is not really dangerous anymore. It’s now just a tourist attraction.

In the 90’s I made a journey from Columbia to Venezuela and the whole road had dropped off the side of the mountain- and it didn’t even make it!!

Simon must've had a doctor's appointment after the recording because he speed talked his way through this one

Not me looking up all of these roads as mods for Assetto Corsa.
