I remember traveling on roads like that in Corsica. They didn't seem that scary till you saw the remains of cars that didn't make it... but the bus drivers just viewed it as a normal day's work!

I also had the same experience in Austria.

Yes I have driven on those roads too Twinks particularly scary after heavy rain. Falling rocks and mud on the road is not a good combination.

Glad to say I would never go on one of these buses, as you wouldn"t get me to India for all the rupees in the world.

Re: Real or not?

I saw a documentary type film about India - the roads and drivers using it appeared suicidal the way they drove. Horrendously scary, in some cases the wheels were just about over the edge

Didn't Top Gear go to India to do dangerous roads? ... I feel a Google moment coming on

Edited:
Here's one from Top Gear in India
