This is one of the reasons why we stayed together across the Atlas Mountains. Most of the roads were just narrow shelves hacked out of the side of the mountain. I don't think they were ever built to take trucks this size running at 48 tonnes gross weight. You had to take the truck right to the edge of the road before taking a sharp left hand bend so that the trailer didn't cut in so much it wedged itself against the rock wall. On right hand bends the opposite was the case. You started as close in as you could so that trailer cut-in didn't send it over the edge for quite a long drop. I was second in the convoy behind the lead truck which stopped while the co-driver got out to walk ahead and inspect what seemed to be an overhang caused by a rock slide. He seemed satisfied that it was OK, and we all negotiated it safely. International truck journalists do some crazy things to get a good feature, but then they are, by and large, a crazy bunch anyway, but pretty good drivers. Kiev 4A, Kodachrome.
