Went hitchhiking round coastal regions of Yugoslavia back in the 70s and the main routes from North to South, a few miles in, were mostly dirt roads in mountainous terrain. You're in a lorry driving 4 or 5 feet from an unfenced drop and it was hundreds of feet down. I was always glad to get back to a beach where the only danger was from the piles of human poo.

There was a series on discovery about three American truck drivers doing some kind of ' work experience' in India. It includes lots of scary rides along similar roads to the one in the film. What struck me was that the loads they carried were often large expensive pieces of equipment for building dams or supposedly valuable religious artefacts, and that in a country whose economy is growing so strongly it spends billions on lots of new hydro electric stations, the lives of the truck drivers who do much of the work are obviously considered expendable and not worth a few road improvements.

Lorry gets too close to the edge of a crumbling bank. Hysterical.
