The Most Dangerous Roads in the World

losthorizon

Never been on any of these roads. Was wondering has any member of boards driven or travelled on these routes?

The worst I have ever experinced was backroads in Iceland

Banjo String

The road from muff to termonfeckin is deadly.

Tail Docker

Any French motorway in the rain. If you've done it, you know why. France - invest in better lane markings, good lad.

The One Doctor

The Old Military Road up the Wicklow mountains.

For Forks Sake

Try driving the Connor Pass with a hangover.

Glock Lesnar

Any road where women are allowed drive, those Saudis have one thing right.

JupiterKid

The N52 between Kells and Delvin is rather atrocious.

The Backwards Man

A66 in Cumbria when the Appleby horse fair is on. Mental.

The Jungas Road in Bolivia, Ice Road Truckers did a spin-off series about it a few years ago and also of some roads in the Indian Himalayas, scary stuff.

Terenure road east north at Tesco is Russian roulette

I cycled down the Yungas road in '08, I can see exactly why it has it's title, and 6 people dying on it including one cyclist the day before didn't help my nerves much either, and caused the ex to cancel her own place in the group. Good fun overall though, I was glad to get back to La Paz in one piece.

The road in Dublin airport that goes past the car hire offices. I drove a bus in the airport and nearly had several head-on crashes with drivers from overseas coming out of the car hire and driving on the right hand side of the road.

Sir Osis of Liver.

Falls Road was quite a dangerous road a few years ago.

Yellow Brick Road

Remmy

up the conor pass in a car driven by a very jerky driver driving a big powerful executive car was the most butt clenching I've experienced. Wicklow mountain roads are the most vomit inducing.

Statistically, any road in Donegal.

The Road of death as nicknamed by the natives; one of the vital links into La Paz the Boilvian capital. On the side of a mountain.

I've been on both French ones and the Yungas although I was in a bus for the latter. The first driver we had was pissed out of his head so we hopped off the bus and waited for the next one.

It's rarely used for motorised traffic these days. Lots of tourists and backpackers mountain bike down it. Couple of them end up going off the side per year.

I remember going around the connor pass in dense fog in August last year. I needed to change my nappy the second we got to Dingle

Anywhere in India. I spent about 20 minutes watching the road before we set off trying to figure out which side we were supposed to drive on because it appeared everyone was using both sides, not for the faint hearted.

After Dublin, Tipperary and Cork you mean?

Hoop66

The road, 7C I think it's called, that goes north out of Curtea de Argeș in Romania. It heads up past the Lake Vidraru hydroelectric dam into the Carpathian mountains and it just gets worse and worse.
