      North Africa is a bit wild and slightly terrifying. For pure terror Honduras takes the blue ribbon.

          India is nuts as well.

          Honduras has the added spice of being very mountainous around the major population zones. Most major roads on the edge of a cliff or very steep hill. So you get the “this traffic is nuts” combined with “oh fuck that’s a long ways down.” Frequent mud/rock slides along the routes add a bit more spice as well.

      I got a lift from an off duty police officer in Greece. I held on to my backpack like it was an already inflated airbag. Not that it would have made any difference on those slopes.
