Bill Newman I rode in buses on mountain roads like this in India in 1986. The burned out carcasses of buses and trucks and cars littered the gorges below the roads. Once, at night on such a narrow precipice, the buss electricity went out, including the headlights, but the drivers continued on their merry way through the pitch black night. I jokingly offered my flashlight and they didnt hesitate taking me up on it. So, we drove the entire cliffhanger route with one man leaning out of a window shining my flashlight ahead. Everyone on the bus was clenching their seat (which wasnt bolted to the floor, by the way), and I got lots of thanks at the end of the line for having a flashlight.
