Ice Road Truckin' In a Smart ForTwo
 

I’m at the wheel of a diminutive Smart ForTwo doing 70 on an iced gravel road 15 feet wide — harrowing under the best of circumstances, but I’m coming up on an 18-wheeler carrying 20 tons of oil pipes. Snowbanks stand 6 feet high, so there’s nowhere to go but straight ahead. Suddenly, I'm having second thoughts about taking part this extreme road test on the Dempster Highway.

Q&A: Discovering the World on the Most Dangerous Buses, Boats, Trains and Planes
 

Why does Lunatic Express author Carl Hoffman travel the world in rickety, overstuffed buses, trains, boats and planes -- opting for the worst possible means of transportation on the planet? To write about it, of course, and to put our Western quibbles about late flights and missed meetings in perspective.
