In the UK if you have an accident and suffer personal injury and trauma you can make a road traffic accident claim; in other countries people are not always as privileged and they must endure much worse roads.
Here are some of the world’s most dangerous roads which should make you feel happy to drive in the UK.
Sichuan-Tibet Highway (China) – landslides, rock avalanches and a high elevation make this road a real terror. This road crosses dozens of rivers and 14 mountains – spanning 2,412 km, so there are plenty of opportunities for trouble.
Siberian Road to Yakutsk (Russia) – also known as the Russian Federal Highway the Siberian Road to Yakutsk is a real nightmare to traverse. 10 months of ice and snow make travelling this route particularly troublesome but July and August bring rain and mud – lots of mud that stops vehicles in their tracks.
The North Yunga Road (Bolivia) – this South American highway is ominously and more famously known as Death Road and there is good reason for this. It is estimated that up to 300 people die yearly on this road, plummeting down the sheer cliff face which doesn’t trouble itself with barriers.
Thankfully in the UK the roads are nowhere near as dangerous as those above, but if you do have an accident you can make a car accident claim with the help of Vamco.
