Don't Drive Here

East Africa's largest city is filled with thousands of two-legged obstacles: people! People who walk on all major roads, alongside such contraptions as Mkokotenis - massive handcarts that are pulled through thick, belching traffic. Traffic dominated by matatus - huge, rickety buses that stop wherever they want - if they can stop at all.

Home to more than 5 million motorbikes, Ho Chi Minh City is a veritable river of two-wheelers where drivers carry everything from windows and doors to entire families on their scooters. Host Andrew Younghusband learns how to flow with the crowd - surviving crazy roundabouts, cyclos, trucks, jeeps - even sidecar motorbikes leftover from the war.

Port-au-Prince is Haiti's capital and if you think there are no manhole covers because of the 2010 earthquake - you'd be wrong. They were always missing! This densely populated city is dominated by big and small buses called tap-taps - ornately decorated and badly-driven beasts that move and scare almost everyone.

If the altitude doesn't get you, the traffic will! That's what Andrew Younghusband learns in this exotic South American city, where rules of the road are optional and definitely quirky. He learns how to calm traffic like a local, dressed as a zebra (seriously - drivers pay attention and slow down.) He braves the infamous "Death Road" to witness the treacherous cliffs up close.
