Anyone watching this show on The History Channel? You could not pay me enough to drive a truck over in India.

I've been watching it. That's just insane!!! The trucks are junk, the drivers in India are nuts with NO regard for the rules of the road (if there actually are any), and t top it all off the horns are wicked annoying.

I liked Lisa's comment during the first episode "Send me back to the Dalton where it's safe."

I can see why Alex went home on his first day of driving. It kills me that the bus drivers over there seem to be the worst.They get payed for how fast they can make a trip.

At least the trucks are colorful.

Yes, the trucks are colorful, but there isn't much to them. The Indians just don't seem to care about people's lives (there own or others) when they're on the road. And I thought the Chinese were bad!

I do think that Lisa's spotter is probably the best. The guy with Rick seems pretty good, althought I really doubt his ability to understand English. The guy that was with Alex and now with Dave just doesn't seem very helpful.

Lisa is hot. She's also the best driver of the three IMHO. Did I mention she's hot?

I wonder if the whole point of IRT & Deadliest Roads is to make us folks living in temperate parts of the US and Europe fell so much better about our crazy lives. Cause it obviously could be much worse..
