Script Title: 5 Most Dangerous Roads To Drive On

Whether riding in the backseat of a limousine or the driver’s seat of a Fiat, we all travel on the same roads and we all face the same dangers on them. Of course, some roads are more dangerous than others.

While most roads we drive on on a daily basis are nicely paved and carefully laid out, there are some roads that would be more suited to the hooves of a mountain goat than to the wheels of a car. With potholes aplenty, a plethora of dangerous turns, and more fatalities than you can count, they are the most dangerous roads to drive on and in this video we’re going to be looking at five of them.

The Vitim River Bridge is the kind of bridge that looks like it will cave in the moment somebody tries to walk across it, but that hasn’t stopped scores and scores of stubborn and hard-headed Siberian men from attempting to cross it in their freaking cars!

The bridge was originally used as a crossing for trains over the icy waters of the Vitim River. It has undergone virtually no reconstruction or renovations since it was first built, which means the cars that cross it today must navigate a tiny six foot wide path that was only ever intended to be used by trains.

The bridge has no railings and spends most of the year covered in snow and ice, so successfully crossing it is something to be proud of. In fact, social media savvy adrenaline junkies who have managed to make it to the other side of The Vitim River Bridge have even started their own Facebook group to celebrate their accomplishment.

    My fellow students, my teachers, and the faculty of Brookwood High School; today is a day that we have waited four long years for. Today is the day that we grow up and end our crossing over the bridge into adulthood, which in the context of our lives, is high school. For some of us, the bridge was short and sweet; these people ran over it like a child would run across the bridge over a creek while playing tag with a friend. For some of us, the bridge was bland and boring; like a grey cobblestone bridge over a flowing river. For some of us, the bridge was long and seemingly endless; like a long red bridge connecting two cities over the currents of the ocean.…

    In order to come up with a solution to prevent bridge failure, we must understand what cause bridges to collapse in the first place. There is a bundle of issues that cause bridges to collapse, but the main reason is when a mix of factors take place simultaneously. If these factors took place one at a time then maybe we can pinpoint the problem before it leads to failure. Some of these issues might be due to overload, or maybe a natural disaster, and the bridge wasn’t stable enough to withstand it. One example of a bridge that failed is the I-5 Skagit River Bridge.…
