- Jeremy, Richard and James come face-to-face with Bolivia's infamous Death Road (El Camino de la Muerte). With the road barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass, will its terrifying sheer drops claim the lives of a Top Gear presenter or two?

Oh look you came back after almost 7 years :D
Id rather not
Bring back Clarkson Hammond and May
Biggest mistake, oh wait this is the BBC. Clarkson is a genius!
No because the new top gear is shit
*in an unpaved death road*
Hammond: "this car is close to undriveable"
Keeps on driving like it was a rally
His brakes weren't working properly
In latin america you have to go with the speed of traffic if you can. If not, people will overtake on corners and then crash into each other and fall off the mountain... (Long story short)
The brakes were drum brakes and they had gone. They were worn to nothing or stuck open, so he could not slow down.
@@MrWolfSnack so on a death road with shot brakes. Madlad.
@@MrWolfSnack He could shift into a lower gear
Always remember, there is a camera crew that follows them to all the crazy places they go, they also earn respect
Although atleast the camera crew drives a decent new car instead of these shitboxes
The cast said that they normally drive land rovers because the back window can be taken out for those shots of the car from the front
No. We all know that camera men can't die. Name one movie where the camera man died.
@@thederperone4653 Blair witch?
@Bulgarian Lion older cars are way more reliable and durable, but it's never gonna be as comfortable as a new car
Especially with the fucked up suspension on those cars, the shock absorbers are as hard as wood
Everyone is gangsta until they see legit fear on Clarksons face like towards the end of this video
Or James with a machete
Well what do you expect Jeremy is literally inches from death
Lmao the look of both relief and fear was priceless. I lived in Bolivia when I was younger and the buses would haul so much ass on the mountain roads.
@@JR-ub3yv you either drive fast enough to miss the drop, or drive hard enough to make it a quick end, those are your choices. Or place c is haul ass and have faith in your crack bus driver that been doing this for 10 years and seemingly is alive.

Priorities people, priorities.
well spotted.
If he didn't then he would need another push.
Old Range Rovers with traditional manual gearboxes. I don't think that's even an option on the modern models.
We had a Mk 1 Discovery in 1993 which was manual but all the other JLR cars I've seen more recently have been auto.
Had the pleasure of traveling along some of this route, they’ve since bypassed the most dangerous bits but that’s cold comfort when you peak out the window and you see a sharp 100 foot drop whizzing past.
Sorry, but it just sounds funny to say “ I saw Mr. Coffin driving along this deadly road today “ 🙄😅
The pleasure? I don’t know how anyone could possibly enjoy that drive. I would avoid it at all costs.
And that looked much higher than a 100ft drop
@@derpyderp1991 Lol yea he's a little off. Some of the drops are close to 1500 feet.

James May: "I don't like heights."
Also James May: Pilot's licence.
ironically fear of heights dont come when riding a plane or a helicopter or balloon
@@sparrowlt could be he's more afraid of falling. In a working aircraft you're not at risk of free-fall.
@@TempestCrown i renember long time ago something about fear of highs only ocurring when you have your feet on the ground.. once you are "in the air" it doesnt appear. probably some psycological process.. as you say when you have your feet in the ground you can fall.. once in the "air" you cant fall or are not "about to" as you are either inside an aircraft or in a baloon basket.
parachute jumpers also say this.. after leaving the plane (or while riding it) there is no fear of height even when you are in fact falling towards the ground
In aircrafts, you can control where you want to traverse. But in uncontrolled ones like falling off a ledge as tall as a skyscraper with your car, it's a whole new story.
@@sparrowlt Untrue I have a fear of heights not really falling but in planes its the worst I'm literally having a constant panic attack the whole flight but im 5 stories up in a building and look out the window and I get anxiety I cant really explain why tho in a plane its also the feeling of being so small
i love how every dialogue between those three guys is "my car isn't broken, your car is"
What I loved about this show is that it was just as much a travel show as it was a car show.
Only once per season. I would say it’s pretty lopsided towards cars.
That moisture on jeremys face wasn’t rain, it was sweat
Reminds me of the landing scene in the movie Airplane 😂
Jeremy had three kinds of moisture in his clothes at this point.
😂
Hm yes flood here is made of floor
Cold sweat
"this is so steep and dangerous and my car barely works"
-proceeds to drive insanely fast in every scene
*modern problems provide modern solutions*
They make the camera wobble on purpose to make it look fast
thats just fake and made up lol they originally drive slow af
Hammond is a "Driving God" after all.
@@Engineer9736 or maybe....the camera wobbles because the suspension of their beaten up trash mobiles is shot?
This is probably the only episode they've done where they've all been legitimately protective of each other.
Any other time, Jeremy or Richard would've been giggling when they run into James. This time however he immediately apologized for it.
They also were concerned in the Syria special when James hit his head on rocks and was both literally bleeding and forgetful of where he was.
They are true friends. Rat on each other when it's not serious, be GENUINELY concerned when it is.
@@314rft Peak male friendship
@314rft They haven't always been friends all of the time. All three have spoken about there being times when Top Gear was just Work and the others were just Colleagues.

I wouldn't even be doing that shit without brakes and a proper steering wheel.

The fact that Richard Hammond survived this is actually quite astonishing.
This is the second most dangerous job in the world, the first always being that of a cameraman
Ironic how the cameraman _always_ survives.

Tell? They can watch
I felt the way Jeremy felt when I went to a hotel in Florence Italy. I had to re-watch this video. The road turned into a dirt road and it become more narrow as you kept going uphill and it was at night. My heart was pounding, I've never been more scared in my life.
theres something lovely about a man with as gentle a voice as james may saying politely "... and now you are going to get machete'd to death"
"lovely" isn't exactly the word I'd use...
The most polite of murder maniacs.
It's not polite. Its British. Consequently his specific British accent is grating on the ears
@@gxlorp u wot m8
Gayyyyy
I’m from Bolivia and everytime I go to the Yungas jungle I’m so glad that they have a new and high quality road it’s so nice out there but the journey is horrifying
So the road we've seen in this video is paved now and it's a normal road?
@@AntonySimkin I think now there is another road (Route 3), and this one is now just for bicycles.
@@militarpoliticanoticias9539 That helps me sleep at night lol
@@AntonySimkin I heard that this isn't the authentic Death Road experience. The old one was so dangerous that they closed a large part of it and are building a safer, more modern one.
yea no, fuck that shit srsly, 3rd world country smh,
I'm a bolivian and crossing this road is one of my deepest fears. There are many more crosses for the deads.
The sad truth is that usually big trucks encounter in this road 6:44 , so that's why is unimaginable to cross this part but it's the job of many transportists. Yet, some drunk drivers try to pass this road, killing a lot of people in the process.
Bolivia is a dangerous and breathtaking place to travel to. You just have to decide where to go and which roads not to take.
I wish this video was a lot longer. I wish this started from the beginning. This was a great episode. Thank you.
Yeah like where tf is the end,
I like how it's a ten year old show and they can't show it all so they can squeeze another 13 cent out of the viewers.
They will have the coolest stories to tell their grandchildren
They don’t have to say anything just watch the show lol

I don't even think it was a joke
I read that when they said that🤣
I just read your coment y that exact time that they say it in the video
1:20 props to the camera man hanging off the side of the crew truck to show us the view of how high it is
I just realized this after watching this special 23 1/2 times, but Clarkson is always complaining about left hand drive cars, but in this case I think it saved his life.

Great idea
How hard can it be?
@@brinley9629 Yeah i figured as much. You took my comment too seriously, I was just using the quote TopGear always put when they dream up some crazy challenges.

Well outside a few models Japan don't really make great vehicles, Nissan has like 2 Toyota has 3 or 4 and Honda makes a solid motor but everything else is trash
@@SmEiF- Whilst I can not comment on Japan's local car makers, there are other japanese brands that we have not hear off. Nissan, Toyota, suzuki and Honda cars are pretty well built. They are very reliable. I currently live in the UK and most old cars are Japanese. Most Japanese cars were not made to be the fast as money can buy but they are made to be reliable as money can buy.
@@SmEiF- Japan makes probably the most reliable cars. They may not be the fastest or strongest, but they are the most reliable and well built. Any honda will easily give you 150k miles with no issues. Same with Toyota and Suzuki. Although Suzukis arent sold in the US anymore
"Did your co-presenter of your television program just attack you with a machete?"
"I believe he just did"
"That doesn't happen on gardening shows or the morning news, does it?"
"I don't believe it does"
This is why I love Top Gear.
...and is a good indication of why Brits aren't allowed to have defensive weapons any longer. Sheeple.
Andy Taylor in America James would have just shot Jeremy and claimed self defence 🤷🏼♂️
bruh can we just have a comment pointing out funny bits without having to get political like

banh mi it's not even political...
Joey Williams
sheeple is often used in a political way though, like people blind to what the government is doing
"It's my biggest failing"
My man has a way with words lol
3:15 how Hammond talks reminds me of Armstrong and Miller's ww2 pilots sketches
“My car is perfect is every way apart from it not starting” LMAOO
That actually shows a lot of leadership on Jeremy's part. When he gets to the narrow point, he knows he's the more experienced driver and tells the bypasser to stand still and stay to the wall while he navigates around.
It didnt have sth to do with being the most experience driver. Its because he was the one who would have fallen to his death, not the other car that couldnt see the edge
Not to mention the bypasser has probably traversed this road multiple times before and thus knows the road and it’s dangers far better than Jeremy
You know that's TV, right? Probably a stuntman and camera tricks were used.
@@DoctorNeuras don't say that:-(
the cliff was a paid actor

Parents: you gotta be happy cause you have to just walk 10 minutes, but we had to: 6:00

There is no amount of money you could pay me to drive on that road

Aaron Mubwanda there really isn't
I'd love to drive my bike there. It's the part of the adventure
Looks fun. I'd pay to do it.
I’d get payed enough to put metal barriers and pave is and then I’d drive on it
You'll find some roads like that in France, especially in the south, although not as extreme. But still. Quite narrow, twisty mountain roads with massive drops and sometimes no guard rail.
There roads like that often in New Zealand too. Usually small roads leading to a beach or one only used by people who live along said road. A lot of them are also only one lame though so if you come across someone you gotta reverse all the way back. Was on one of these roads when I saw a sheep murder another sheep by pushing it off the cliff.
That one guy was right, this show truly is

@@unicornkiss I don't know.
David Galea I’m not convinced that part is scripted people die on that road for a reason
"Just goes to show, these Japanese cars are badly made!" he says in a Land Rover.
I think its a range rover. Our land rover has survived 20 years and still works perfectly well on a farm, where it belongs. Range rovers are the city equivalent. No farmer owns a range rover, only the posh c*nts in the fancy house has a range rover.
@@Kat-mu8wq i think he meant the brand in general, not a specific vehicle. old ones might have been reliable, but any land rover from 2005 or newer is garbage afaik. got one as part of a payment and it cost me a brand new toyota hilux to replace the seized engine that broke like a week after i sold that fucking thing. i only used it for 13 km and it cost me the price of a good new car. most expensive transportation of all time.
Not sure if he owned a Japanese car to back up what he said. I used a 20 years old Honda City with 160k+ km mileage, never gave me a headache. Guess what, almost all the Ford Raptors from my place (BRAND NEW) had to break their transmission in less than 500 km mileage. 🙄
Its just Jeremy making a joke because range/land rovers are know to be historically unreliable whereas Japanese cars are known to be some of the most reliable and well made cars in the world.
@@Kat-mu8wq range rover is made by land rover 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not raining. There's a waterfall right there, which is why the road is corroded. It's known to be one of the worst corners within this road. Yes, I've been there, several times.

@@PROofHAPPYWHEELS that could've been edited, of course. All I'm saying is that specific part of the road is always soft and narrow.

@@PROofHAPPYWHEELS idk man, didn't bring my measuring tape with me.
There are so many roads like this all over Central America and the Caribbean. That's why although I love driving, I'll never go back and drive through any of these roads. Riding with locals flying down these roads like the danger doesn't exist and seeing no fear in them at all is the craziest thing to me. 😳
0:17 you will need a beep there BBC2 😂😂
I once drove on a similarly narrow unpaved road in the Slovene Alps trying to find a remote church. When I got there I thanked God for not sending any cars in the opposite direction.
I don't think any car got the chance to drive back down

Looks like you beat natural selection
Next time ask him to build wider roads.
Almost went to see Jesus on the way to trying to find church
I wish they'd make a supercut of all the times they run into May's car.
Other than a dual carriage way in india xD
I've heard that many drivers who drive on these roads sometimes have to be there, behind the wheel, for almost 20 hours...That's so tiring and insane at the same time
I've traveled that road numerous times. It is nowadays closed for traffic since they've built a new paved road. The Death Road is now used for tourism, mainly downhill biking...the largest downhill in the world 👍🏼😃
7:01 i bet jeremy will not complain that the steering wheel is on the wrong side now
I would, because on a right hand you'd able to jump off if it started to fall.
@@wolfensteinJB 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
vin I mean the weight could be unbalanced, and don’t ask me how Jeremy didnt fall lol
I wouldn't cuz if your car tipped over you would die and you can see the side of the mountain so you can't fall too easily
@@wolfensteinJB but you would definitely fall of since you could not see exactly how far you could go. that's why they drive on the left there(only on that particular road)
Nope. Nope. At 6:40 I would have just said screw it I'll get a new car, just left it there and walked back.
solarplexis5 I would of fucking shit myself
O hell nahhhhhh
I would have crawled out of the back and pushed the car over the side myself, and then told James and Hammond a ridiculous tale of how I climbed out at the last second. But, ya... me too.
I have no idea what any of you are on about. i chickened out at 2:37... yeah, my fear of heights is that bad...
The second I would see another car I would rush to the side next to the rock even if I’m going in the wrong lane.
Nothing in this world will make me pass in the same side as the cliff, I would fucking hug that mountain.
Top gear was the best around this time
I don’t care whether it could’ve been scripted, that moment when Jeremy was literally on the edge of the cliff road was edited to look so intense and nerve inducing. Props to the camera crews and editors!

the far view is different from the close-up, so maybe exaggerated a little. But he did sign a contract ;)
It´s TV. Safety-lines aren´t visible. Nobody would risk his life there. I bet the other car could have easily pass and Jeremy only had to wait.

@@damiengates7581 Maybe. it´s all a big show. The Machete ("blabla not in common bbc shows" or whatever), the extra old/crappy cars ("brake not working blabla steering not working blabla")
Ok and WHY should a BBC TV-Crew take this crappy cars and risk their life ?
I bet the cars are technically checked and ok and the final scene at the abyss... its short and the camera scenes are well set and selected - even Bear Grylls uses safery lines for those kind of scenarios
The BBC tried their best to kill all three presenters over the course of the series. Hammond is lucky to be alive after they told him to try breaking the UK land speed record.

We cant have fun on the net since pedantry abounds
Jeremy was driving at that point, look at 7:15. What the 7:15 shot also shows is that he's not that close to the edge and the shots of the wheels has been filmed at another location.
It's oviously staged because it's a too dangerous stunt (literally a few inches from death). However, many locals have to do it on a daily basis

The true scariest moment i being too close to Stig's chinese cousin
@@karankumarmageswaran1550 yep, if it’s staged then it’s not scary anymore 🤔
IDK, the altercation at the gas station in Alabama was pretty nerve wracking. I live not far from Alabama, and people there, as well as in hick parts of other neighboring/southern states, really are as insanely fragile in the head as they were portrayed in that challenge. Same goes for people in certain parts of the hoods/ghettos in Washington DC and Baltimore, that I live just 30 minutes away from. You can literally be doing nothing at all that you yourself consider provocative, and suddenly be seconds away from getting jumped/beaten, robbed, stabbed, shot, etc. There are people in those places literally so angry at the world that they are out looking for a fight, and will take any excuse to start one, even something as simple as coincidentally locking eyes with someone that's just looking around them casually is enough... *in an angry tone of voice* "Whatchu lookin' at boi/muthatfucka?!" is usually how it starts, and then they don't let up with the questions/intensity, unless you show (or pretend to show) fear, until finally they do what they intended to the moment you caught eyes with them, which is start beating you up and probably robbing you of something.
Coming form experience in these places over the years, the best way to stay safe in hick towns/ghettos is the keep your eyes to yourself, and fixed on wherever you are going/whatever you are doing to avoid eye contact entirely. Don't speak unless spoken to, and in that case respond with neutral and apologetic excuse like "I need to go pick up my kids, sorry." because ignoring people itching for a fight just escalates their desire to harass you. Not everyone in these areas is like this, but they do exist and can appear out of nowhere, so it's good to very be aware of your surroundings (without looking around too often that is, because that makes you look scared) and always have a plan if you get into these situations. Paying close attention to your peripheral vision and hearing is important in these places, as is giving off a relaxed, calm, nonchalant demeanor. *This is all probably more useful to post on the actual Alabama video, so I'll do that in a moment, but it's worth mentioning to anyone, just in case you end up in this situation some day.*
At least on unstable roads and such you have the reliability that the only danger is misjudging the perpetual forces of gravity and physics that apply the same way there that they do everywhere else in the world.

It’s things like that which confuse me, how do you perceive someone merely glancing at you as a threat?
It just doesn’t make sense to me.
@@sirapple589 it's not the physical act of glancing at someone that causes them to be irritated and start a fight it's more the fact that the glance could mean that they're being judged or looked at in a certain light or way. It's the possible perception or judgmental view that someone may be looking at them with not just the fact that it's a momentary glance of the eyes.
That, or it's just someone who, like I said, is looking for a fight and will use anything as an excuse to start one. They're usually angry about something else completely, and you just happened to be in the wrong place the wrong time when you encounter them.
Some people just don't know how else to process extreme amounts of emotion, (usually frustration and anger, but also sadness and betrayal) and some people are just taught that that is an acceptable way to do so because of the environment that they just happen to be born into/grow up in.
6:48 Jeremy’s famous Speed and Power policy disappears
This was my fav all time 2 part series. Love it
4:27 that Samurai is Indeed designed by Suzuki in Iwata, Japan, but it is built by Santana in Linares, Spain. I can tell from the interior, fenders, wheel arches and grille that it is a spanish built version.
“James is killing Jeremy...and things are going well!”
2:55 *James pulls hand brake*
Car: *still moving*
My dad's car does the same lmao
Over the years, these specials have taken their toll on the bodies of these three legendary and outstanding tv presenters.
I would be in tears and screaming the whole time. There was a part where James seemed like he was trying not to cry.
"pretty close to undrivable now" - yet is speeding away.

@@anzua7x580 what the actual fuck
Screw that road. I'd rather walk. Not risking my life just for the convenience of driving. No thank you. lol
You're gonna walk massive distances through the mountains? These roads are used to get from one village etc.. to the other and there is really no alternative.
@@CptAngelKGaming I meant walking along the road, not going a different route. I wouldn't risk my life to a car on that road. The risk is too high.
I'd rather ride a mountain bike
@@ianglennorbunaos2627 I've done it on a mountain bike, they offer tours starting from the top.
Going on a motorcycle maybe, that seems like a long distance for a walk, and you cant exactly camp out the night either.
insane with the inside track and a production crew preventing any big challenges
Dangerous and all... But those of us born in South America recognize that while dangerous, the Andes and its many neighboring 4,000 km mountain ranges are breathtakingly beautiful. I am from Colombia, and we also have sights like that. Bolivia is just as beautiful, if not more. I know this isn't the scope of this TV show, but man they should've taken some moments to acknowledge the beautiful scenery.
4:32 "Toyota trucks are badly made". Clarcson, you made an episode where you showed that Toyota trucks are unbreakable
He said Japanese cars are badly made. Not TOYOTA TRUCKS
Simon B. He said ''THESE Japanese cars'' And plus Fj Cruisers are different from reliable Hilux. He's NOT even talking about TOYOTA TRUCKS, And learn how to spell Clarkson.
And he's driving a Range Rover a notoriously unreliable car.
It was clearly a joke considering his car
You know that he mock everycar right??
Anyone who says they didn't stiffen up at 7:10 is lying.
EDIT: Alright dickwaffles I meant I got tense NOT that I got an errection. Jesus Christ why do I have to explain that...?
Look man, get it through your head that not everybody shares your fetishes.
lmao pervert it's top gear NOT a porno
@Dick Kickem you ruined it
Dood I would jump off that cliff yolo
But that was fake but
I didn't remember , but this was the first episode that i ever watched of top gear , i liked it so very much that since i become a fan.
Kudos to everyone involved in this film
