Well, don’t go there

The supposed most dangerous roads in the world.

Two are in Norway, so don’t go there.

One in Brazil has bad maintenance, missing pavement, big potholes, bandits and a prostitution ring. So, don’t go there.

Could be more dangerous roads in, say, Africa have worse landslides, more attacks by bandits, and wild animals. But that is only a guess.

In 1968, one of the most dangerous roads in the world ran south from Xuan Loc, RVN, to Vung Tau. A 9th Infantry Division 3rd Squadron 5th Cavalry platoon was ambushed just south of Blackhorse Base Camp, with every one of the platoon's seven organic ACAVs, mortar track and both supporting M48 tanks hit by RPG and/or recoilless rifles.

Of course, Vietnam at that time probably would have scored 10 of 10 on most dangerous roads.
