Did some dodgy roads
Nepal towards Tibet. One very muddy stretch in a minibus where we had to get out and push, another Bridge washed away. We walked over a temporary bridge of 4 telegraph poles to a different vehicle.
Pakistan a mountain roadin the Hindu Kush partially blocked by a landslip.
The Karokoram "highway" over the Khunjerab pass into western China.
Taxi to the Khyber pass with an armed escort. ( A man with a Lee Enfield rifle)
Motorhome The Col de Mont Cenis The Grimsel pass and others, Scotland the coast road to Lochinver and the Applecross road.

Is it real?

Not the still picture on the video but I believe the video lips are real.

1.The mountain roads are notoriously bad when it comes to land slips. Being a relatively new country it suffers lots of earthquakes.

2. We bricked it on a mountain road in Safaraq, Northern Turkey, the road became unsealed, then narrower, then just petered out. Had to reverse for about half a mile before we could do a 12ish point turn.

3. Connors Pass in Ireland, fine if you are in a car, a total freak out in a MH because the way the cliff side juts out pushing you closer to the edge and hundreds of feet drop off.

4. Hard Knott Pass, uphill in a Jag with faulty brakes, they just didn't hold when I braked to let someone pass, had to reverse it into a boulder to come to a stop.

5. Most of inner London 3 months after passing my test.

6. Getting lost at night in the Troodos mountains in Cyprus. We ended up spending the night in a monks cell in a mountain Monastery after a kind policeman guided us there.

7. The moorland road from the Tan Hill Inn towards Hawes in a MH. The hairpin is the steepest, tightest and narrowest we've ever come across and there is no barrier to save you from dropping 80' or so. Shortly after we did it, a bin lorry didn't!

8. Some of the mountain roads in Scotland.

I've done the Hard Knott Pass, Wrynose pass, the Bealach na Ba and in fact most of the notorious one's in the UK.

The ones in the video are definitely more extreme but you would be just as dead if you rolled off of some of the British ones, although safety barriers are used more - but not always.

The dodgiest road I've ever driven up wasn't a road I found out later, it was a goat track on Alonnisos, fortunately we were in a Fiat Panda, and they are just about unstoppable.

Some stupid un named road over the pyrenees, in my tiny van, the trucks do not accommodate and I thought I was going to be driven over so had to drive faster than I was comfortable with. At the other side I stopped and you could smell the brakes......never, ever, again.
