Driving is not safe. Driving on dangerous roads is not safe at all. Here's top 5 of world's "Roads of Death": 1. Bolivia North Yungas Road runs in the Bolivian Andes and goes down almost 4 kilometres so narrow, it takes one's breath away. Every couple of weeks somebody dies there, and around 150 people every year.   
2. China Guoliang Tunnel in Taihang mountains. Looks really scary, with those "windows" of different size and shape, they easily mischieve you.   3. China This is a heavy-tourist traffic area in Xian (Mt.Huashan). I wonder how many tourist did not get back from tour.    4. Russia Personally, I think there are plenty like these in Russia, but then I don't have any graphical evidence. This is the road to Yakutsk. I am saying "the", because it's the only one. During rainy spells, when the usual clay covering of the road turns into impassable mud blanket it swallows trucks and tractors alive.
  5.Taiwan Taroko Gorge Road - again with scary tunnels.
