Default IRT deadliest roads

Did anyone catch that last night? I wasn't a huge fan of the original but this sh*t was pretty intense

The commercials weren't very good. It's not the terrain that makes it do dangerous as it's made out to be but the idiots with vehicles. No regard for anyone else on the road but themselves. Passing on blind corners almost constantly. One of the drivers got in two accidents on his first day. I feel bad for the motorcycles and scoots over there who have to survive that sh*t

I didn't see the show, but I saw a documentary a while back on some crazy roads in Peru (I think it was Peru...lol). Same thing, but maybe not quite as bad.
I meant to watch this IRT one but I forgot.
It's on tomorrow night, though (tues) at 10pm so I set the DVR.

Watching them drive I would say it's more like they don't have rules and regulations.

When I was in Mexico City the cab drivers were nuts. Going the wrong way into one way streets that were only 1 lane wide and passing so close you literally could not open the door

When I was on board the USS Nimitz we would spend a lot of time in Naples, Italy. It was a blast to tell the cabby to take us for a tour of the city,lol. Driving like that in the states would land you in jail in no time. Fearless, I tell you. Maybe that's why the Italians have such a strong racing heritage.
