The road where seatbelts are prohibited

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
... is a 16 mile long ice road in the European nation of Estonia. This road has a number of unique rules:

On this particular road, it is forbidden to wear a seatbelt: you might have to make an unexpected and speedy exit from your car.

You can't drive here after sunset, or with a vehicle over 2.5 tonnes. And it is strictly illegal to travel at between 25 and 40km/h (16-25mph). At those speeds, your car tyres will create dangerous vibrations that could crack the surface of the road, sending you and your vehicle to a watery grave.
