The World's Most Dangerous Roads: Bolivia's Death Road

As roadways become more sophisticated and structurally sound in the more developed countries, we forget that in many underdeveloped third world countries, roads without any form of safety precautions. Many roads still remain unpaved, lacking guardrails, retaining walls and switchbacks that keep motorists safe while traveling to and from their destinations. 

One road that remains treacherous for drivers is the so-called "Death Road" in Bolivia. Known locally as Bolivia's Old Yungas Road, this dangerous 40-mile stretch of unpaved roadway is known for its sharp turns, plunging guardrail-free cliffs, and steep hills. Don't be fooled by the recent construction,  this deadly drive claims more than 100 lives each year.

Fall Car Maintenance Tip: Windshield Wipers for Snow

In winter, snow, fog and rain can seriously impair your visibility while driving. That is why it is important to inspect your vehicles wiper blades before winter hits. Wiper blades usually only have a lifespan of one year, so be sure if that time has elapsed that you replace them. 








A good way to check your wiper blades, is to check and see if your vehicle has the newer "beam blade" style wipers. The beam style blades doesn't contain an external spring to freeze up, which make them better for winter.

If you're stuck in the snow or any other freezing or below freezing weather, do not forget to turn off your wipers when you park. This allows your wiper motor's to not fight to get frozen wipers moving again. Another trick to avoid your wipers freezing is to pop them up. This makes it much easier to scrape your windshield when it gets covered in ice and snow.
