Huh? Wow, a bit alarmist, even exaggerated for a title, right?

Uh, no, not exaggerated at all. I’ve had about forty years of driving experience, a good chunk of it here in France, and the rest in Madagascar.

So I know a bit about what I’m talking about in the north and the south, and about accidents, even if I haven’t been in many (uh… any even?), wow, I’ve seen a lot of them!

Mechanical incidents, substandard infrastructure, overconfident people, those who, on the contrary, make you wonder how they got their license, silly accidents, incomprehensible accidents, pileups, rollovers, dangerous driving, improbable scenarios, and so on.

I’ve seen a lot of them, I tell you. I myself have often acted like a jerk behind the wheel, but always with as much knowledge as possible. I know what I’m driving, I know the road, I know the potential pitfalls, I have some knowledge of sporty driving, I have a pretty sharp sense of anticipation, so, yes, go for it.

But what about all those other drivers? Those with their Vorontsiloza licenses who don’t even know how to keep right on a fast lane?

Or those in Mety io Ram’s A mode who are driving at full speed and suddenly face a mechanical problem? Vaky tire eee… Tapaka brake eee… Victim of aquaplaning eee…. Inona zany aquaplaning ram’s a? Indrisy often we discover the meaning too late 🤣

So to get back to today’s topic, yes, I think this highway is dangerous. I already explained the why and how in this column, I won’t go over it again. I’ll even bring this column up again in a few years, in “I didn’t warn ngah” mode?

Those who blindly defend this pocket highway as it is, I’m sure they’ve never seen a highway accident…

Yes, even here in the Northern Hemisphere, even with infrastructure up to standard, accidents still happen.

So imagine the massacre on infrastructure that isn’t up to standard. No, you can’t imagine.

But I can imagine it very well. So that we’re somewhat on the same page, I’m offering you an incredible little compilation.

Terrible, isn’t it? Tay be mihintsy. Watching this video already raises new questions: if these kinds of accidents happen on your 270 kilometers of highway (and they will, that’s 1000% certain), what about your breakdown/rescue/assistance scenarios and infrastructure?

It’s the same as usual, ita eo zany ram’s a? We’ll improvise as we go along?
