Trucking in Mexico.

I'd like to take a load from Canada to Mexico one day. Or vice versa...

 

It's no wonder you hear about tour buses going over the side every now and then. Check out the coolant/oil in the middle. Looks like the L.A. freeways in the 70's.

 

Crap....I hate when videos on youtube are posted on here.....because I look at it....then next thing I know im watching every other video on youtube.....now im watching close call accidents somewhere in Europe........

 

Kinda addicting aren't they

 

sucked in to the video vortex...........whoooooosh!
also kinda like some of these threads....can keep you occupied a loong time

 

I noticed they use U.S. road signage...the black and yellow chevrons and warning signs.

no guard rails though. That keeps things exciting.

 

I've bicycled roads just like this in vietnam, costa rica, and the dominican. In vietnam we rode up through the clouds on a road like that. Down there they have some bonkers trucks going at crazy speeds. Weird mix of old US stuff and strange huge straight tanker trucks that have enough axles they look like crane carriers. Everyone just honks as they go around turns and if they don't hear anything they swing wide taking up both lanes. We took a bus to the airport and there was a traffic jam, so people just got off and drove on the other side of a 8 lane divided highway. The people driving the wrong way on the wrong side of the road just went slow and honked their horns and flashed their lights. But the most epic roads I've ever seen where in the 3rd world. A real blast in any vehicle. Possibly my favorite is rt133 in the dominican republic. Brand new road, insane grades and views and when I took it, totally unused.
