Here is a growing list of “The Most Dangerous Roads Around The World.” With millions of drivers on roads every day, raging or not, people are bound to get into accidents. But when you’re driving along a road 15 feet wide with a 1000 foot cliff on one side, and part of the road has washed away due to a flash flood, the road conditions are more likely to cause an accident than driver error. I’ve experienced that driving aggressively on windy roads, or when taking up both lanes, doing it at night is safer than during the day. The reason is that when you’re coming around a blind curve or flying over bumps and hills, being able to see the headlights of oncoming traffic is more noticeable farther away, than visibly having to spot the car during the day. If you’re in an area with lots of wild animals, that’s another story altogether. The highways through the midwest U.S. in the Dakotas seem to be spread with dead deer nearly every mile, for hundreds of miles. In that case, just slow down and save the deer, your life, and your car.
