Why o why do so many 3rd world countries have "DEATH ROADS" like this? In America, we get upset over seeing a pothole or speed humps. Is there really nothing these people can do? Seriously, get a bunch of you together and chip away at the cliff a bit more so that two cars can pass safely on a mountain road. Is building a safe mountain road really really so expensive that they cannot afford it?
Is building a safe mountain road really really so expensive that they cannot afford it? The short answer. Yes it is that expensive.
Most people in 3rd world country work their asses of to get a few $ and barely can afford enough to feed and cloth their families. They don't have the time, energy or disposition to chip in a wall to make the road any wider.
The stuff looks so wispy in the air, you'd never think it would hit so hard on the ground. But it makes sense. They have to be able to blast through a thick forest canopy.
Twin steers are cool and its not dangerous as it looks if the ground is hard. The second steerer is the one that matters as its the highest loaded wheel on the truck. The rear axels will be well inside the turning arc.
