Would you drive on this road for a million bucks?

World's most dangerous road: La Paz to Coroico, in the Bolivian Andes. The road is barely large enough for 1 car and is used for both directions.

They do this on Ice Road Truckers.

For 1 million, fuck yes I would do it and I would keep all the money offshore too.
 
Yep, apparently when 2 cars/trucks meet and the road is too narrow, one of them has to back off till the road is large enough for both. Can you imagine going backwards on a road like that with a truck?
 
you really should watch the top gear show in Bolivia. i would never drive there, maybe just with a bike

Ive been on much worse snowmobiling

Riding avalanche zones, free falling with snow not knowing where the next cliff is, having to dig people out using tracking devices.

Talk about a rush

Living :)
 
That road is some scary shit. I think someone posted this video of El Camino Del Rey a while back. This thing scares me even more.

I love my life to much, i would never go there. This is what i read about it:

The El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to El Camino del Rey. HISTORY: In 1901 it was obvious that the workers of the Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide transport of materials, vigilance and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway lasted four years. It was finished in 1905. In 1921 the king Alfonso XIII had to cross the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, and it became known by its present name. The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 ft) in width, and is over 700 feet (200 m) tall. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.
