Did you guys see the latest episode?

It kind of turned me off to see Rick and Dave act like that. They might be OK acting like that short term but they wouldn't last long term doing that. Also Rick got a little carried away there after that green bus hit his truck.

I actually drove a road very similar to this one in Northern Afghanistan. Had several hundred foot dropoffs the entire way, and it was a one way road carved out of the mountains.

I guess it was a little better for me since we were in Humvees with guns mounted so people kinda got out of our way, but the whole driving on the edge of the world for hours on end sucked.

I don't think Rick was out of line. Why shouldn't that guy pay for damaging the truck? Rick wasn't even moving. And Dave had to pay when he hit that bus. Seems like blatant discrimination against foreigners.

And seeing the way those Indian drivers put other people's lives in danger with their driving, the least that guy deserved was a good talking to. :thumbsup:

I agree. However in this situation discrition is the better part of valor. Considering the money involved it isn't worth it. It was blatant discrimination against foreigners. The cop basically blew it off. I loved how they chased the guy. Later when they sandwiched the horn blowing driver between there two trucks was funny. However they have to be careful, they are in the foreing country and things could get ugly real quick.

Yes that was wrong of the bus driver to hit Rick's truck like that but it doesn't make it right for Rick and Dave go after him like they did. Dave especially was looking for some revenge as he seems to be ticked off.

The situation involving the other driver where he was sandwiched in between the trucks was also not beneficial. They need to realize that on the back of their truck there is a sign that says "Please horn" - What do they expect? Cars pass trucks all the time there using the horn.

I just think they need to calm down a bit.
