If you take 287 into NYC its a nightmare theres hardly any traffic on it early in the morning and late at night so people will do 2-3X the speed limit right on your bumper.

Re: 10 most dangerous roads in the world

the road up pikes peak isn't that dangerous. The one up mt. evans is much worse even though it's paved.

Re: 10 most dangerous roads in the world

+1 to the Dangerous NJ driving thing.

Its freakin nuts!!! Ive been drivign for around 7 months now and ive already almost been in 6 accidents. Not my fault though, people just love to pull out in front of me. Ive Literally had to make a full swerve intot he left lane at the last seond to avoid people and almost lost control.....

I say if you survive to get a NJ license you should be qualified to drive anywhere and perhaps given a medal....

But yeah the turnpike and parkway are crazy. You could be doing 100mph and still be getting passed like its nothing

Re: 10 most dangerous roads in the world

The other dangerous thing, but more stupid about NY and NJ drivers is that if there's any type of accident, small or big, everyone slows down to look. SOOO ANNOYING.

Also, CAR Magazine of UK took a RR Sport on the Bolivian Road of Death to test it out. And they liked it.

Do you have a link for that? I’d like to read it.

Re: 10 most dangerous roads in the world

The best I could do is take a picture of the article and post it for you. I already tried searching for it.

I'm at school and it's apparently at home so I'll get it to you by next week

Re: 10 most dangerous roads in the world

I had fun on Jeep trails yesterday up in the mountains... probably less dangerous than the NJ turnpike... LOL

Had local pickups on my ass and a chick in a blazer went by me in the middle of the mountain road. It's virtually impossible to get away from it all now adays...
