Enga Roads

Is the road bad where you live?  That pothole that you hit that you know is there, but never seem to avoid?  Well, this picture is an example of the roads that I drive in Enga.  Off to the right of the picture you will see an 18-wheeler semi-truck on it's side because it slipped off the edge of the road.  But this was good news because if it would have slipped off the other side and rolled like it did, it would have been about sixty feet down. 

On these roads in general you can drive in second gear, and if you're some what reckless, you shift into third like the PMV drivers and fly over all the potholes.  I don't really know how fast second or third gear is because I'm forced to dodge to the right side of the road in order to avoid something... And we drive on the left in PNG...
