the Furious movies multiple times and are probably a super great driver. But even if you’re essentially Dominic Toretto behind the wheel, you would have to think long and hard before traveling down the next 12 roads that we are going to talk about.We’ve got places nicknamed “the highway of death,” “death road,” and there is even one road whose name literally translates to “the road that tolerates no mistakes.” We have scanned the globe to discover the 12 most dangerous roads you can travel. Along with being ridiculously terrifying roads, you’ll also find that some of these would be unforgettable for their beautiful sights. But whether it’s other drivers, steep heights, awful weather conditions or, you know, the Taliban, all of the roads on this list pose more than enough threats to make your nextdrive out, your last one.The benefit of taking a trip on Stelvio Pass is that you are in Italy, where there is definitely no shortage of beautiful things around you and sightsto see in the cities (not to mention all the food!). But if you want to make sure you can enjoy all of those things, then one of the first steps is making sure you are, you know, alive. And the easiest way to ensure that may be to avoid taking a trip on Stelvio Pass. The15-mile long road contains 48 hairpin turns (count ’em, 15!) and at areas requires drivers to pull off 180-degree corners. The road is also going to test your fear of heights, as at one point it stretches upwards of 9,000 feet. Want to know just how dangerous the road is? You literally can only drive on it from June to September. This is to assure that drivers are only on the road during optimal weather conditions.6. Sichuan-Tibet Highway – ChinaAs if we didn’t have enough dangerousroads from different countries, we’re about to add China to our list as we cover the Sichuan-Tibet highway. There are plenty of highways on here that are physically terrifying, but the Sichuan-Tibet Highway has the numbers to back it up. The highway is responsible for 7,500 deaths out of every 100,000 people. That’s definitelya lot of death occurring on this road that is roughly 2,142km long. It is also not paved, meaning that during some of the rainier seasons mud can lead to your cars getting stuck for upwards of weeks. That’s a whole different type of traffic jam! It isn’t just other drivers that make the highway a dangerous place to drive, as it is also vulnerable to avalanches, rock slides and other hazardous conditions that may play a significant impact on driving conditions. At least the scenery may be worth it, as you will drive past 14 high mountains, as well as travel through some of the most beautiful and iconic rivers in China.5. The Leh-Manali Highway – NorthernIndiaAre you afraid of heights? If so we probably don’t have to spend a long time convincing you as to why the Leh-Manali highway is considered to be one of the most dangerous roads inthe world. After all, it’s the highest one on Earth! Stretching upwards at an astonishing height of 11,578 feet, you can imagine that is a long way down to think about your poor driving choices if you make the wrong move. To make the road all the more terrifying, you get the pleasure of driving on what is essentially crumbling dirt that you can see fall off behind you as you go. Regular drivers are not often found on this road (whichconnects India and Tibet), but tourist buses have been known to travel on it – which essentially means that as wellas having an absolutely terrifying road ahead of you, you also are a passenger in a bus full of people that are probably losing their minds every 5seconds.
