America's Scariest Drives [FORBES SLIDESHOW]

SHOOT: These look like lovely scenic drives. For true terror, carnage or boredom try driving in Johannesburg, through Transkei at night (fenceless, dark with potholes the size of graves) or the dead boring section between Laingsburg through the Karoo (straight, flat, hot).
Tail of the Dragon (North Carolina/Tennessee)
Moki Dugway (Utah)
Named after a Spanish term for the Pueblo Indians (“mokee”) who once lived in this area, the Moki Dugway is a spectacular switchback stretch of State Highway 261 in southern Utah. Plunging off Cedar Mesa, the narrow gravel road drops 1,100 feet in just three miles as it snakes its way down into the Valley of the Gods. Moki Dugway is part of the “Trail of the Ancients” National Scenic Byway.
