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.
