My friend refuses to go on this trip with me

One of the documentary stations did a special on that road. It's pretty crazy, to say the least. I believe that the bypass road was opened, so there is probably less traffic now, which makes it much safer.
 
I've driven a humvee on a convoy in Afghanistan on a similar road. Barely wide enough for one vehicle, a fall was guaranteed death.

that article is greatly depressing. notice how the nearest hospital is 2 hours away?? that woman could have survived but the odds against it was great.

True. I was looking at some google images as well, and the way those trucks pass each other is mind boggling. It appears as though only 1/3 of the tire on the outside edge is even touching semi solid ground.

😕 The road to Leh is much worse. I remember doing that in fog you couldn't see more than a foot in front of you, straight drop cliffs of over 200 feet or so or tumbles of a few thousand feet, occasionally the car would lean a bit after touching the lip of the cliff's edge.

edit: oh and the driver is also on a 22+ hour shift with no breaks more than 10 minutes, and this fog bit was at the very end heading down into Manali.
